When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, 

Jesus asked,

"Do you see anything?"

Mark 8:23 NIV

Jesus had stepped aside and asked the blind man a question. 

I wonder if this question is here for us as much as it was for the blind man. 

"Do you see anything?"

Do you see the goodness and beauty of creation?

Do you see my hand in that?

Do you see people, image bearers of me?

Do you see injustice?

Do you see lost people, like sheep without a shepherd?

Do you see hearts that need binding up, people who need grace, forgiveness, compassion, care...

Love 

Do you see love in action and celebrate it.

Do you see the transforming goodness of the Father's love in people's lives.

Do you see Light shining in the darkness.

What do you see?

Will you and I allow Jesus to ask that question of us today?
