"Do you 'see' what I mean?" That's what my friend asks me
regularly. He means to say: "Do you understand and are you willing to change your mind and do something about it?" Jesus has asked us if we "hear." He wants us to realize that He is speaking to us, He wants to communicate with us. Then, He asks if we "see". Will we accept His message and do something different in our lives? Naaman "hears" God's message from Elisha and "sees" that he needs to follow God's direction-in order to be healed. Paul "heard" God's message on the way to Damascus and "saw" that he had to change his life and follow Jesus. The Lepers have "heard" of Jesus. They "see" that He can heal them and ask for His help. Jesus hears them, sees their need, and heals them, One Leper also "hears" the call to salvation and returns to Jesus after being healed. Are we like the one leper?
