The Jesus Prayer: 'Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me'
Healing
On their way they were healed. When one of them discovered that he was healed, he came back, shouting praises to God.
Christian Sacred Writings Luke 17:11-15
Attitudes
Two men went into the
temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a
tax collector.
The Pharisee stood over by himself and prayed,
"God, I thank you that I am not greedy, dishonest,
and unfaithful in marriage like other people. And I
am really glad that I am not like that tax
collector over there. I go without eating for two
days a week, and I give you one tenth of all I
earn."
The tax collector stood off at a distance and did
not think he was good enough even to look up toward
heaven. He was so sorry for what he had done that
he pounded his chest and prayed, "God, have pity on
me! I am such a sinner."
Then Jesus said, "When the two men went home, it
was the tax collector and not the Pharisee who was
pleasing to God. If you put yourself above others,
you will be put down. But if you humble yourself,
you will be honoured."
Luke 18:13
Seeing - awareness
Jesus stopped and told some people to bring the blind man over to him. When the blind man was getting near, Jesus asked, "What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord, I want to see!" he answered.
Jesus replied, "Look and you will see! Your eyes are healed because of your faith." Right away the man could see, and he went with Jesus and started thanking God. When the crowds saw what happened, they praised God.
Luke 18:35-43
