"But God"

In this powerful message, we're reminded of how an ordinary day can become extraordinary when Jesus passes by. The story of the blind beggar in Luke 18 serves as a poignant illustration of our spiritual condition before Christ. Like the beggar, we are spiritually blind, impoverished, and powerless to help ourselves. But when we cry out to Jesus with passionate persistence, He stops for us. Just as Jesus asked the beggar what he wanted, He invites us to bring our deepest needs to Him. The transformation of the beggar's sight symbolizes the spiritual awakening we experience when we encounter Christ. This story challenges us to examine our own lives: Have we had that extraordinary day when Jesus passed by and transformed us? Are we still crying out to Him in faith, or have we become complacent? Let's be encouraged that no matter how busy the world seems, Jesus always has time for us.
