Summary
The Blind man cries out, "Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner." We learn from the blind man that we cannot miss any opportunity to cry out to Jesus, no matter what the obstacle. We are blind and in need of God. In the packet we see that man longs for God and that the God we seek can be found through both faith and reason.
