As Jesus departed, two blind men followed him, crying out, “Show us mercy, Son of David.” When he came into the house, the blind men approached him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “It will happen for you just as you have believed.” Their eyes were opened. Then Jesus sternly warned them, “Make sure nobody knows about this.” But they went out and spread the word about him throughout that whole region. As they were leaving, people brought to him a man who was demon-possessed and unable to speak. When Jesus had thrown out the demon, the man who couldn’t speak began to talk. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisees said, “He throws out demons with the authority of the ruler of demons.” (Matthew 9:27-34, CEB)
The two blind men approached Jesus and Jesus asked them, “Do you believe I can do this?”
Do you believe Jesus can heal you?
Do you believe God will have mercy on you?
We tell everyone else that God will heal them and prayers can help, and God gives grace and mercy. Do we believe that?
And more importantly, do you believe God will do these things for you?
You deserve mercy.
You deserve grace.
You deserve healing.
Do you believe Jesus can do this, for you?
Loving People. Loving God.
