Without the organs in our body we will not be able to perform some specific functions. Organs are the body's recognizable structures (the heart, lungs, liver, eyes and stomach) that perform specific functions. An organ is made up of several types of tissues and there are several types of cells. The eye is a special organ of the body. It gives light to the body. It is the pair of visible organ that humans and animals use to see. Without the eye, we will not be able to see the beautiful things that God has made for our pleasures. We need to take good care of our eyes to prevent us from going blind. In our world today, there are a lot of people who are physically challenged. Some have legs but cannot walk, some have mouth but cannot speak while some have eyes but cannot see. Blindness, for example is the inability to see with the physical eye. Such people have eyes but their eyes have been damage by a medical condition that makes it impossible for them to see. Blindness is the inability to see anything, including light. A variety of factors can lead to blindness. Some common causes of blindness are: people with diabetes, age-related macular degeneration, traumatic injuries, infections of the cornea or retina, glaucoma, and while some others are born blind. As Jesus went about preaching and teaching, He met people who are physically challenged and healed them so that the works of God might be displayed in their lives. One of the people that Jesus healed was a man popularly named "The Blind Bartimeaus. " He was the son of a man named Timeaus but was always refered to as "The Blind Bartimeaus. " Blindness became his identity and people hardly called him by his surname. Even though he was the son of Timeaus, people often refered him as "The Blind Bartimeaus"because of his blind condition. Blindness has oppressed Bartimeaus for a longtime and he has lived for many years begging for alms.
