“Do You Believe?”

“Do You Believe?”

Blessings folk!

Do not fear!
Do not be dismayed!
Have faith!
Believe!

This came to mind this morning during an early morning prayer gathering…

 Mat 9:27-31

As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out,
“Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them,
“Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.”

And their eyes were opened.
And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!”

But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land.


Two blind men.
Crying for mercy from Jesus - the Son of David.

They pursued Jesus.
They came to Him inside a house…wonder how that worked? Did someone lead them? Did they follow His voice, pushing through the crowd that was always around Jesus?

Jesus asked them a pointed question.
“Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

That is the question for us.
Do we believe?
Do we really believe that He is able?

They said “Yes!”.
What do we say?

Jesus’ response was interesting.
He touched their eyes and said “it shall be done to you according to your faith”.

According to “their faith”?
Yep.

They had true faith.
They believed.
Their eyes were opened.

Jesus then warned them “see that no one knows about this!”

LOL.

Really?

Two blind men that now see.
“See” to it…?

Jesus knew that His “time” had not yet come, so he often told folk to not say anything about what the Lord had done for them.

Of course, they said things.
These two spread the news throughout the land.

We have been sent by the Lord to proclaim what He has done for us.

May we do so…

Believe!
