Significance of the healing of the blind beggar

Answer Text:
- The blind beggar referred to Jesus as son of David meaning that he was the promised Messiah.
- The physical blindness is not a hindrance to spiritual understanding who Jesus is.
- It also shows the importance of faith. The blind man got his sight because of his faith.
- Jesus was empathetic to those who were suffering.
- Christians need to thank God for whatever God has given them. The blind beggar thanked Jesus for what he had done to him.
- Christians should not give up/fear to ask for God’s assistance. The blind man did not shy even when he was being rebuked by the crowd.
- Those who have received God’s blessing should follow Christ just like the beggar followed Jesus.
- Those who want to come to the Lord should not be prevented.
