Episode 221: Matthew 9 Part 4 Pursuing Jesus

As Jesus was leaving Jairus’ house after raising his 12 year old daughter from the dead, wo blind men followed him, shouting at him, “Son of David have mercy on us!” Jesus ignored them…he kept walking not paying them any attention. In fact, he goes to someone’s house where he will be staying for a bit. The two blind men keep on their journey until they reach the house where he was staying and they burst right on in having no regard to whose house it is or who is inside. They wanted their healing and they knew Jesus was the only one who could give them sight. Why did Jesus ignore the two blind men? It was about the pursuit. Jesus is not a condom. He isn’t something we keep and use it when we need protection, then discard it. He wants a relationship and in any relationship, there is the pursuit, there is the hunt. Didn’t Jesus tell his disciples, “Keep on seeking and you will find?”
