"WHAT went ye out for to see?" This pertinent question of Christ Jesus' is one which we would do well to remember at the start of each day. Most of us are associated with people during the day, and the choice as to whether we see children of God or scheming, unkind mortals is decidedly ours.
Are we letting mortal mind convince us that our fellow men are cruel, disloyal, hateful, resentful, avaricious, sickly, or sinful? If so, let us resolve as we go about our daily tasks to take our stand on the side of God, good, and with spiritual sense see the true man, expressing love, loyalty, justice, generosity, health, and purity. We usually see and find just what we are looking for in our association with our brother man. It is up to us to make the decision whether it shall be good or evil. To acknowledge only the perfect man of God's creating demands constant vigilance on our part, but the results are well worth the effort put forth.
Had Jesus gone about seeing sick, sinful, and dying mortals, he could never have accomplished his marvelous healing works. When the ten lepers presented themselves to him for healing, it was the Master's ability to see that perfect God, the only creator, can express Himself only in a perfect creation which sent the lepers on their way clean. In the instance of the man who was born blind, Jesus saw clearly that vision is a faculty of Spirit, God, hence can never be lost or impaired, and as a result he who was blind received his sight. The Master proved that supply is of God, therefore spiritual, ever present, and abundant. Because he understood this to be the truth of being and refused to recognize the false suggestions of lack and limitation, he was able to feed the five thousand in the wilderness when the material supply was but five loaves and two fishes.
