There are those walking about powerless and defeated even though they know the power available in Christ and where to find it. Just being in the right place, hearing the truth and knowing the best for your life does not guarantee healing. You must want to be well.

One of the credentials of the Messiah would be the healing of the blind and thus restoring sight. (Isaiah 42:1-7) Jesus, being the Messiah, was fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah as He brought healing to the blind man, Bartimaeus.

The Christmas story without shepherds wouldn't be the same, would it? Despite not knowing their names or how many there were, they are more than mere characters in our Nativity sets. The shepherds portray what the Gospel is all about.
