Matt 9:27-31 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” ²⁸ When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and He asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. ²⁹ Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you;” ³⁰ and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” ³¹But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

Taylor and I had breakfast yesterday with a group of men who love the Lord that we respect a great deal. It was an encouraging time. We heard a powerful testimony of God faithfulness during a recent health emergency. The man who shared truly experienced God’s touch. This passage today from God’s Word is another great account of the miracle power Jesus displayed while He walked this earth.

I love that these two blind men followed Jesus and kept calling out to Him for mercy. How challenging it must have been for two blind men to follow Jesus as He walked from one place to the other, especially, as he went from the outside to the inside of someone’s house. It leads me to believe they had help from friends as they made their way. Let’s be friends like this to people in our world who need help getting to the Lord. We cannot do for people what Christ can do in them and for them, but we can be people Jesus uses to help others on their way to the Lord.

The men answered yes when asked by Jesus if they believed He could do this miracle. Our passage goes on to tell us Jesus then touched their eyes and their sight was restored. What a miracle! These two men went from not being able to see Anything to being able to see Everything! Isn’t that the difference Christ still makes in our hearts and lives today? When Jesus comes into our heart, He gives us the ability to see things we did not used to see and helps us to see all things in the correct way.

It is what Jesus said in between touching the eyes of the blind men and their sight being restored that really jumps out at me. Christ said these significant words, “According to your faith let it be done to you.” We serve a mighty God who is able for any need or problem. Let’s strive to be people of faith who believe there is nothing too hard for our God. Let’s believe Him for big things. I do not want to miss out on anything Christ has for me, my loved ones and my church family because of unbelief. I know you feel the same. Trust God. He is able for whatever you are going through right now.
