What do you want me to do for you?

This is the question that Jesus asks the blind Bartemaeus.

This man had cried out,'Lord have mercy.'

Jesus asks, 'What do you want me to do for you?'

'Let me see again.'  the blind man replies.

So it would be.  Bartemaeus would  receive his sight and in his thanksgiving he follows Jesus into Jerusalem.  There he comes face to face with the cross that brings God’s mercy to all humanity. 

Jesus asks each of us that same question.  I wonder what we would answer.  Would the mercy of Jesus be enough for us?
