Lenten Poems – Came Home Seeing (21)

Christ and the pauper. Healing of the blind man. 2009. Canvas, oil. 100 x 55. Artist A.N. Mironov.

Jesus had compassion on those who were limited physically, as we see in his healing the man blind from birth. He doesn’t hold back his grace or love; nor does he amend his answers to the teachers of the law to suit them – as we will see even more tomorrow.

“I was blind but I washed.” What a testimony of God’s love.
