Please don't give me what I DESERVE

One day one of the local officials asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to deserve eternal life?"Jesus decides to focus on the word good. The one that jumped out at me was deserve. No matter how good we try to be, do we ever deserve eternal life? It's a gift. Later in the chapter, the blind man yells, "Jesus! Son of David! Mercy, have mercy on me!" This is again something we don't deserve, but Christ lavishes on us. It would seem obvious to me that Jesus knew what the BLIND man wanted, but he cared enough to ask him. "Master, I want to see again." So do I. Come, Lord Jesus. Open my eyes to the needs of this world and how you want the body of Christ called Faith to serve you in Quincy.
