Faith That Opens Eyes | The Book of Matthew: The King and His Kingdom | Matthew 9:27-34 | Pastor J. M. Lee

Good morning! Go ahead and grab your Bible and turn to Matthew 9. This morning, we'll be considering verse 27-34. Matthew 9:27-34.

We’re knee-deep in our study of Matthew’s Gospel, a series we've entitled, "The King and His Kingdom." Matthew—who was once a despised tax collector— but by God’s grace was saved and left it all behind to follow Jesus — he documented the story of Jesus.

And Matthew — writing to a Jewish audience —in chapters 1-4— he points out that Jesus has the Messianic qualifications. We see this in Jesus’ family tree and in the many Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in His birth. Ultimately, in these first four chapters, Matthew is calling us to ponder: "Maybe Jesus is the King? Maybe He’s the Messiah? Maybe He’s the Son of David we’ve been waiting for?"

Then— in Matthew chapters 5-7— we studied the Sermon on the Mount— where Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God and how we are to live as its citizens. And when the sermon was over, everyone looked at each other in amazement, saying, "We’ve never heard teaching like this!” For Jesus taught with unparalleled authority, and again, Matthew leaves us to ponder: "Maybe He’s the King. Maybe Jesus is the Messiah. Perhaps, Jesus is the Son of David!"

Then, in Matthew 8-9, Matthew records for us ten amazing miracles. This morning, as we look at these final two miracles, we will see the people respond by saying, "We’ve never seen anything like this!" Once again, Matthew is calling us to consider that Jesus is the King—that Jesus is the Messiah, the long-awaited Son of David who came to establish His Kingdom and reconcile and redeem sinners.

You see, in these first nine chapters, Matthew is doing everything he can to provoke our faith and to stir our hearts and minds to greater belief in Jesus.

So, with this in mind, I’d like to invite you to stand for the reading of God’s Word.

Matthew 9:27–34 (CSB)

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

28 When he entered the house, the blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?”

They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”

29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus warned them sternly, “Be sure that no one finds out.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that whole area.

32 Just as they were going out, a demon-possessed man who was unable to speak was brought to him. 33 When the demon had been driven out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34 But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

This is the Word of the Lord

Let’s Pray

Hope—it's an interesting word, isn't it? Some use it as a name. We see it on billboards, t-shirts, and even license plates. Some of us might have wall decor in our homes or offices that proudly displays the word. We all need hope, especially as we navigate life in a broken world.

Just look around: as a nation, as a society, it feels like the wheels have fallen off. We're skidding down the freeway, sparks flying, and through the smoke, we tell each other, "Just keep the faith… don’t lose hope." But the truth is—many of us—including professing Christians—are living without real hope. Our hearts have grown hard, cynical, and full of unbelief. You might attend church regularly, but if you’re honest, it’s been a long time since you’ve felt truly moved by the truth being preached. You hear reports of answered prayers and miracles, but you’re quick to assume there’s a logical explanation rather than being stirred to greater faith. And as you face life’s challenges, you’ve started to wonder— Is God is really good?

Why? Why do we lack hope? Why are our hearts so cynical? Well….for many of us — we've lost our longing and our desire for God. We've lost our desperation for the Lord. Instead of surrendering everything at His feet and allowing Him to rule our lives, we attempt to accommodate Jesus into our already established calendar. . We try to rule our own lives… but friends…self-sovereignty…self rule only leads to a dead end—a cul-de-sac where our only companions are pride, spiritual blindness, and cynicism.

But what if there was a better way? What if the hope you’ve been searching for isn’t found in yourself at all? What if all your striving and searching has been in vain? What if the hope you’re longing for isn’t found in a politician or a policy? What if true hope comes from completely letting go of control? What if the cure for your heart’s cynicism and spiritual blindness is found in a life fully surrendered to Jesus?

Well— our text this morning helps answer these questions. It points us to the only sure foundation that can provide lasting and certain hope. His name is Jesus, and He is a compassionate, patient, and wise King who has the power to soften your heart..to provide you with spiritual sight…and to replace your cynicism with unwavering hope.

We are going to see this truth as we investigate our text through its three movements. Let’s start with the first...

1. The Cry of Desperation v. 27a

Look at verse 27

Matthew 9:27 (CSB)

27 As Jesus went on from there…

Remember…Jesus had just been in the home of the synagogue ruler Jairus…..where He raised this man’s daughter from the dead…and Matthew tells us ….that ….as Jesus was leaving Jairus’s house

Matthew 9:27 (CSB)

27 … two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

Now—a couple of weeks ago — we witnessed a desperate woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for 12 years. In her desperation and her shame— she stealthily waded through the crowd— longing just to touch Christ’s robe. But — these blind men—they couldn’t see the crowd… and…well… they couldn’t care less if the crowd saw them. Unlike the woman—who approached Jesus quietly and full of shame— these men came with boldness— they shamelessly… and probably a bit uncomfortably…cried out to Jesus for help.

Perhaps….they had heard about the miracles….or maybe they had heard Jesus teach — either way —I can imagine one saying to the other… "Did you hear?! Jesus just raised that little girl from the dead! Surely He has the power to heal us and give us back our sight!" And so— from that same place of desperation that Jairus had for his daughter…. and with the same longing for deliverance as the bleeding woman — somehow these blind men found Jesus and began following Him.

Now—it’s helpful to understand that blindness was a common issue in ancient times….and blindness could have been caused by a variety of factors — such as unsanitary conditions, infections, poor nutrition, or diseases the mother had during pregnancy. Blindness was a constant threat and was often viewed with superstition…. in fact…. many saw being blind as a punishment — which ultimately forced the blind to the margins of society. And…..as a result…. it makes sense that these blind beggars would have stuck together…in fact…it’s quite possible that these two men had been companions in the dark for many years. Imagine what it would have been like for these men—living their entire lives in darkness….constantly being at risk of falling or getting lost…with every step they took, their lives were in jeopardy.

And so—from a place of deep desperation, fueled by an intense longing to see— these men put themselves at great physical risk. Can you imagine the scene? Jesus just raised a young girl from the dead — and now the crowd is buzzing. You can’t see— but you hear the noise, the chaos, the confusion. You can’t tell exactly where Jesus is but you know he’s there ….so from the depths of your being….you begin to shout and you scream with all your might, “Have mercy on us!” Hoping that Jesus hears you….but then…to your dismay…. there’s no response. What would you do? Would you give up? I mean it was a risk just to get to this point— and it took a ton of courage to shout the first time. What would you do?

Well…these guys….they didn’t give up. They were persistent — In fact — the verbs in the original language indicate that they were shouting at the top of their lungs ….and they were loud….and they didn’t just shout once…No!…these guys yelled and just kept on yelling, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” Everyone would have heard them …everyone would have seen them….it would have been a real scene. But they didn’t care….they were relentless in their desperation…..refusing to be silenced…refusing to be ignored. Why? What was it that fueled their determination? What kept them from throwing in the towel? After all these years of being ignored…what kept their hearts from growing cold and cynical? What was it that gave them so much hope? Well…despite being blind these guys saw something no one else saw. Which leads us to the second scene of our narrative.

2. Faith that Sees v. 27b-33a

‌The blind men cried out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” Now, there are two important aspects of this cry that we need to highlight. First, notice what they’re asking for—mercy. What does it mean to show mercy? It means to show kindness.. concern….. to pity to someone in need…. but it goes deeper than that. You see…Mercy is also about withholding punishment that someone has earned or deserves. So, for these men to cry out for mercy means they’re asking Jesus not only for pity and kindness but also to withhold any judgment they may deserve..… in other words they are approaching Jesus with a posture of repentance.

Yes…obviously they wanted Jesus to have compassion on their condition …but there is more to their plea for mercy than a cure for blindness…. for they knew that their biggest need was not healing…they knew that their biggest need — blind or not blind—-was God’s merciful forgiveness of their sins.

And we know this because of how they address Jesus—they call Him the Son of David. Many people who had physical sight saw Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and still only considered Him to be a teacher or a prophet. But these blind men knew exactly who Jesus was—they heard the Scriptures read…they heard what Jesus had done …they heard what He was teaching…and they knew …without a shadow of a doubt…Jesus is the Son of David…. the long awaited Messiah…who would come to restore this broken world marred by sin and usher in a Heavily Kingdom.

Now, let’s understand the significance of this title. The name “Son of David” carries much more weight than simply pointing to Jesus’ family tree. This title was reserved for the long-awaited Messiah and was rich with cultural and political significance.

David was Israel’s greatest king, under whom the nation experienced its golden age. He was a fierce warrior who expanded Israel’s borders….but the most crucial part of David’s legacy is the promise that God made to him—that from his line would come a King whose reign would never end (Isaiah 9:7). But David’s kingdom did end. It crumbled….his kingdom split and it decayed until both Israel and Judah were conquered. Yet, God’s promise did not die. Through the prophet Amos, God declared:

Amos 9:11 (CSB)

11 In that day I will restore the fallen shelter of David: I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,

And….this promise echoed other promises made all the way back in the book of Genesis. For instance, in Genesis 49:10, we read:

Genesis 49:10 (CSB)

10 The scepter will not depart from Judah….

Judah was the tribe to which David and his family belonged. And it’s because of promises like these, the people of Israel waited, longing, and looking for the coming “Lion of Judah,” who would restore David’s throne and reign forever.

In the New Testament, Jesus is repeatedly identified as this promised Son of David. But His relationship to David is unique. You see…Jesus isn't only David’s descendent but also David’s Lord…and we know this because of verses like Psalm 110 which says

Psalm 110:1 (CSB)

1 This is the declaration of the Lord to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.”

Here—David is pointing to a conversation within the Godhead—God the Father speaking to God the Son, inviting Him to sit at His right hand, a position of supreme authority. Who can this be? Well… None other than Christ Jesus Himself. The Apostle Paul affirms this in Ephesians 1:20-22:

Ephesians 1:20–22 (CSB)

20 He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens—21 far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every title given, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he subjected everything under his feet and appointed him as head over everything for the church,

Friends, Jesus is the Son of David— Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah who has come to establish His kingdom. And Jesus has authority over all things—today, right now. This isn’t just theological trivia—this truth has real-world implications.

Many today are overwhelmed by the state of our country, especially as we face elections and experience political turmoil at what feels like an all-time high. Many of us have gotten caught up in the idea that our future depends on who holds power on earth. But the truth is—Jesus is the One who holds the highest office in the universe. Jesus is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and every earthly ruler is subject to Him because He is the Son of David who has inherited an eternal throne.

Now….how does Jesus….the eternal King…The Son of David… respond to these men’s desperate, humble, and faithful cry for mercy?

He ignores them.

Why? Because if Jesus had immediately responded to the title "Son of David" in a public setting… many people—who were expecting the Messiah to save them from Roman oppression rather than from sin and death—might have misunderstood His mission. Responding in that moment could have accelerated His journey to the cross, but Jesus still had work to do. So, He sovereignly delays His reply, waiting for the perfect timing….look at v28

Matthew 9:28 (CSB)

28 When he entered the house, the blind men approached him…

As Jesus entered the home where He was staying, these two blind men somehow managed to follow Him inside. Don't miss their persistence—they kept shouting..they were following Jesus despite not knowing how long it would take or how far they'd have to go. Imagine the crowd around Jesus — all wanting something from Him — yet against all odds—-these men made it through the door. Now, here they are, face to face with the Son of David…

and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”

Now, I don't know about you, but if I were one of those blind men, I might've been a bit taken aback. I could see myself thinking, “Seriously, Jesus? Didn’t you notice how far we’ve followed you? Didn’t you hear us shouting? And now you ask if we believe? How could you ask such a question?”

And at first— this question might seem strange considering their obvious determination and the challenges they had to overcome. But here’s the thing—this question wasn't just meant for those two men. Yes, it was directed at them, but Jesus also asked it for the benefit of everyone else in that room, and for everyone who has ever read this account. Christ’s question is for you and me as well. “Do you believe that I can do this?”

You see — just as that question hit right at the heart of what was holding those men back from seeing — it's the same question Jesus asks anyone who is seeking salvation — anyone who is pursuing Christlikeness — “Do you believe I can do this? Do you believe that I can give you sight? Do you believe I can make you holy? Do you believe I will finish the work I started in you?”

And because Jesus knew their hearts — He already knew their faith was genuine. In other words — His question wasn’t to satisfy His curiosity but to lead them to a more complete public confession of their faith. Which reminds me of what the Apostle Paul writes in Romans 10:9.

Romans 10:9 (CSB)

9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Do you see? Jesus draws a public confession out these blind men …which then became a public testimony to us of what is required for salvation. Faith alone in Christ alone.

And so again…Jesus asks them… Do you believe that I can do this for you? To which they replied with an emphatic — “Yes! Yes Lord! We believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of David, the King of kings, and Lord of lords—we believe that you have the power to save us!!” And immediately…..upon their public confession of faith….that Jesus is Lord and that He has the power to save them..…look at v29

Matthew 9:29–30a (CSB)

29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” 30 And their eyes were opened….

Now…we don’t know how long these men had been blind…but it’s possible that this was the first time in their lives that they had ever seen the light…and I imagine its was both painful and glorious ….can you imagine!? Can you imagine feeling the compassionate touch of Jesus…and how amazing it would it have been to have seen His face as the first thing you ever saw!?

Also…notice… what Jesus did not say… He didn’t say….let it be done for you according to your hard work…or….let it be done for you according to your character….or…Let it be done for you according to your pedigree…or……Let it be done for you according to the faith of your parents..…or even….let it be done for you according to how much faith you have…..as if one blind guy had greater faith so his vision was 20/20 where the other guy he could see but he still needed glasses….No! Jesus says, “Let it be done for you according to your faith….in me”

You see….Jesus simply asked, “Do you believe I am who you say that I am? You’re calling me the Messiah…you’re calling me the Son of David—do you truly believe that I am who you say I am? Do you believe I can save you?”….Don’t miss…that this not about them at all but it’s about the object of their faith… It’s the object of their faith that gave them so much hope…..they knew that there was nothing in and of themselves that could fix their issue. Only Jesus.

And so they looked to Jesus as the object of their faith….and don’t miss…that these men were the very first to call Jesus, The Son of David…don’t miss that it was these two blind men in a crowd of religious people with perfect vision who were the first to see both Jesus’ royalty and also his fulfilment of the Covenant God made with David…they were the first to see that Jesus is the Son of David..the promised King. Jesus was the object of their faith.

Friends….despite what many people think today…. faith is not vague…Faith is not cloudy …and it’s not indistinct….when I was a kid there was a popular song called “Faith” and both George Michales and Limp Bizkit made a living singing, “You just got to have faith”…and I always said, “Yeah, but faith in what?” And well our culture has answered the question…. we just have to have faith in ourselves…and faith in each other…..faith that we are good people…faith that we can do it….but friend…. thats just nonsense…tell me…hows that working out for us….It’s not. How would have that worked out for the blind men? It wouldn’t have….

You see….don’t miss the metaphorical application of this passage…Understand….We all come into this world spiritually blind. By nature, we can’t understand the things of God. Sure, we have physical sight, but when it comes to the spiritual realm… it's like there are scales covering our eyes. You might share the gospel with someone, and they’ll say, “I just don’t get it,” or “I can’t see that.” And they mean it—they really can’t see it. The problem isn’t with their physical eyes but with their hearts. For— sin blinds us to God’s truth….and we will never be able to see….unless God opens our spiritual eyes.

And so ……this morning…..if you are able to see the things of God—-if you are able to grasp the sweetness of Jesus… if you can see the loveliness of Christ… if you can recognize the greatness of God—that’s not something you’ve achieved on your own. It’s a gift from God….and It’s a sign that God has healed your blind heart ….brothers and sisters…. let this truth be an assurance of your salvation and a reason to worship God.

But if you don’t see it… if you are sitting here this morning and you’re saying, “I can’t see.” Perhaps you have been the object of your faith…. maybe you have been trusting in your own morality…or your own religious works and as a result you might be saying, “ I don’t recognize the greatness of God…I have not experienced the loveliness of Jesus.” And if that’s true….I invite you this morning to fix your eyes on Jesus as your the object of your faith……don’t hesitate…..do whatever it takes…to humbly —cry out to God: “Lord, have mercy on me! Let me see the beauty of Christ!”

Matthew continues ..look back at verse 30

Matthew 9:30–31 (CSB)

30 And their eyes were opened. Then Jesus warned them sternly, “Be sure that no one finds out.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him throughout that whole area.

The irony here is that the first thing these men do after being healed is disobey Jesus. Can you relate? I sure can. And this is a beautiful reminder of God’s grace and His faithfulness to us despite our unfaithfulness to Him.

Imagine being blind your whole life…then suddenly being healed. You see the sun, the trees, birds flying through the air, and most importantly, you see Jesus—face to face with God Himself. You’re filled with excitement, only for Jesus to say, “Don’t tell anyone about this!” Yet, they were too excited and they failed the task.

Now, think about this—if you are a Christian, like the blind men, you too have been given sight. You can see the depths of God’s love, the majesty of His holiness, and the richness of His mercy. You understand the beauty and loveliness of Christ and His gospel. But unlike the blind men….Jesus has instructed us to go and tell others about our amazing Savior and His amazing grace. To shout from the rooftops that we were blind, but now we see!

But…the irony doesn’t stop with the blind men. You see…let’s be honest…. despite the clear command from Jesus for us to go and tell others about Him…..we struggle to obey His command. Think about it..… We have been given spiritual sight…we have experienced the transforming power of the gospel… and yet… we are often silent. Unlike the blind men who were told to keep quiet but couldn’…we have been commanded to proclaim the good news….yet we often hold back. Why? Are we afraid? Are we apathetic? Have we lost our wonder of what Jesus has done for us?

Brothers and sisters…we have the greatest news that anyone could ever hear….. Jesus has opened our eyes to see His beauty, His grace, His salvation. How can we keep that to ourselves? May we leave here this morning with a renewed passion to proclaim the excellencies of Christ Jesus our Lord!

Now…not everyone will respond like the blind men….…which leads us to our third and final scene

3. A Divided Response

Matthew 9:32 (CSB)

32 Just as they were going out, a demon-possessed man who was unable to speak was brought to him.

Despite Jesus’ strict command….the men who had been healed of their blindness couldn't contain their joy. They immediately went out and began telling everyone about their miraculous deliverance and the amazing Savior who healed them. And in their excitement…they encountered another man in need—someone who was mute and unable to hear. And what did they do? Well…without hesitation…they brought him straight to Jesus.

Now… just as blindness was common in the ancient world… so were conditions like being mute and deaf. And…there could have been many causes for this man's condition—anything from infection to disease—but Matthew clearly tells us that his muteness was the result of being possessed by a demon.

Now…what’s interesting here is that Matthew doesn’t provide any details about the healing itself. He simply writes,

Matthew 9:33–34 (CSB)

33 When the demon had been driven out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

34 But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

No elaborate description….no dialogue—just a straightforward account. Jesus is back among the crowds…. and Matthew doesn’t dwell on what Jesus said or how He healed the man. Instead….he points out the simple but powerful fact: Jesus expelled the demon, and immediately, the man could speak and hear.

And …while there’s much to be said about demons and the casting out of demons…. that’s not the focus of our text today. Matthew will give us an opportunity to dive into that later….but for now….he wants us to pay close attention to the response of the crowd and the response of the Pharisees….for… there’s something extremely important here that we cannot miss.

You see…In this moment….by restoring sight to the blind and giving a voice to the mute, Jesus is confirming His identity. The blind men had rightly called Him the Son of David….and the fact that Jesus didn’t deny or correct them was significant. But now… in front of the crowd….not only do they hear the testimony of these two men…. but they witness Jesus delivering the mute man. On that day…in front of everyone… Jesus fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy… where God had declared through the prophet:

Isaiah 35:5–6 (CSB)

5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,

and the ears of the deaf unstopped.

6 Then the lame will leap like a deer,

and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy,

for water will gush in the wilderness,

and streams in the desert;

Matthew is drawing our attention to a pattern here. As we reflect on the last chapter, we see a centurion who shows us that even Gentiles can recognize Jesus for who He is. Then we see Matthew, the tax collector, showing us that even sinners can see Jesus. And now, in the greatest irony, we see that even the blind can see Jesus as Lord, as the Messiah, as the promised Son of David to whom the prophets pointed so clearly.

But tragically…not everyone could see…although many would have been familiar with Isiahs prophecy …..they couldn't see the prophecy being fulfilled right in front of their eyes!

Consider the crowd—Matthew says that they were simply amazed. It’s an interesting word, "amazed." It suggests that they were struck by something extraordinary, something out of the ordinary. But here’s the thing: amazement alone doesn’t transform lives. The crowd was impressed, but there's no account of repentance, no turning away from sin, no faith in Jesus as their Savior.

Now, think about it: How many people today are amazed by Jesus? How many are in awe of His teachings, His miracles, or the idea of His love, yet remain unchanged? They’re drawn to Jesus because of His compassion, His wisdom, His power—but they stop short of surrendering their lives to Him. They marvel at His works but continue to live as if they are the king of their own lives, as if they can keep control while merely admiring Jesus from a distance. And friend….that kind of amazement is superficial. It doesn’t lead to repentance…it doesn’t lead to a heart that is transformed by the gospel. Being amazed by Jesus is not enough. And that’s what we see in this crowd—they were impressed, but they didn’t follow. They were astounded, but they didn’t repent.

How often do we see this today? People who attend church on Sundays, sing the songs, listen to the sermons, and leave thinking, "That was amazing." But then they go back to their lives, unchanged, still clinging to their own ways, still living for themselves. They are impressed by Jesus, but have not surrendered to Him as their King. The crowd’s amazement did not lead to faith because their hearts were still dead. They didn’t see their need for a Savior—they just saw a miracle worker. They didn’t recognize their sin—they only recognized something spectacular happening before their eyes.

Next, we see the response of the Pharisees—who, like the two blind men, were blind as well, not physically but spiritually. Although they had physical sight, they couldn't and wouldn't recognize Jesus for who He truly is—the Son of David. Their spiritual blindness was so severe that they couldn't see Jesus for who He was, which is why Jesus would later call them out in Matthew 23:16.

Matthew 23:16 (CSB)

16 “Woe to you, [you] blind guides

Then in verse 17 he call them

Matthew 23:17 (CSB)

17 Blind fools!

And this reminds me of what Jesus said in John 9:39, right after healing another blind man:

John 9:39 (CSB)

39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind.”

So here’s my question for you today: What do you see? Do you see anything? Or are you still blind? Perhaps you are amazed by Jesus…but if you were honest….you're still not seeing Him for who He truly is… or maybe you are blinded by your own self-righteousness.

Or—by God’s grace—do you see Jesus as the Son of David? Have you experienced His gentle touch? Friends, Christ Jesus is a well of life, and no one can truly grasp the depths of His love and mercy. And today….He’s inviting you to drink…. And yes, that invitation is even for you—no matter who you are, no matter how self-righteous you’ve been, no matter how far you’ve walked away from God. Today, He is calling you to move beyond mere amazement and come to Him with hunger and humility, for He is willing…..to be merciful to you.

Friend…if you are tired of searching and striving—- if you are exhausted because you have been looking for fulfillment in yourself …if you are tired of trying to make sense of this life on your own…. my friend…Jesus is standing before you today…just as He stood before those blind men…and he’s asking you, “do you believe?” Do you believe that He is who He says that He is?

Perhaps you have been walking with God for a while….but you have become spiritually nearsighted… perhaps you have lost a grip on what Jesus has done for you… perhaps you have lost touch with what it means to be a child of God.. maybe you have allowed the fears….the stresses…the anxieties that come from living life in a broken world to block your vision of who God is and what He has done to redeem you..and today He is calling you to remember who He is…to remove the filter form your eyes and once again fix them on Jesus!

Friend…Jesus is the Son of David…He is Immanuel…God with us…He is the first and the last…the alpha and the omega…the beginning and the end…He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords… He alone is the way… the truth.. and the life…. In Christ the blind see, the deaf hear, and the mute sing for joy. And He’s calling you to join in that song.
