The God Who Opens

We come today to the final miraculous wonder in the ministry of

Christ recorded in Luke’s Gospel before the resurrection. The first being turning the

water into wine at the Wedding at Cana, and this healing of a blind man being the final.

There will be one more account of a miraculous work when he curses a fig tree, but it is

unique in that it is the only miracle that produces a destructive result rather than a

restorative effect.

Just prior to the miracle, we read for a third time in Luke’s Gospel a foretelling of what

was soon to take place in Jerusalem.
