Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute

27 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.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”

 

Do not think about elephants. Did you? Humans are very predictable and I believe Jesus telling the blind men not to tell anyone would have the opposite effect.

 

Through prayers and listening, I have heard the Lord’s words and unfortunately, at times I have not heeded the words… a predictable, sinner. At times, I am blind.

 

We are blessed. Peter denied our Lord, three times, and was blessed and the church was built on him. There is hope for me and get this, it’s predictable… have faith in our Lord, follow his commandments and through our faith and HIS grace, we will be blessed.

 

Dear Lord, help me see. Help me hear your words and walk in your ways!

Prayer Concern: Help us not be blind and see your world as you see it.
