22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. 24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” 25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town.”

if we are honest this morning we would have to say that we are wounded by some of the things that have happened in the church. We might even be angry about some of the things that where done that we feel landed us where we are today.
notice the first thing that Jesus did was take the blind man by the hand and lead him out of town.
23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.
at this point I am going to take some liberties with the scriptures.
we have to get away from these hurts and hang ups.
the best way I know to do that is to forgive as we have been forgiven.
