Prayer: Show us the way, Lord, as we sit by the roadside and cry out for your mercy. Open our eyes, Jesus. Help us to see. Amen.
Reading: Mark 10: 46-52 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: And it was so. Those words came to mind when I read our story today as Jesus heals the blindman. Bart was just there, sitting by the road, when he called out to our Lord. “Have mercy on me,” he cried out. He said it again. And Jesus came and gave him sight. Jesus said to Bart that his faith had made him well and that he should open his eyes and see. And it was so. What can Jesus take away from our eyes so we can see him more clearly? What can Jesus make so for us, if we just ask? --Chad Hershberger
