Thankful For My Healer, Part 3

Seeing and Believing: The Blind Men’s Miracle

1. Faithful Cry for Help

Matthew 9:27 ESV

And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.”

Matthew 9:28 ESV

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

2. Faith Opens Eyes

Matthew 9:29 ESV

Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”

Matthew 9:30 ESV

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, “See that no one knows about it.”

Matthew 9:31 ESV

But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

3. Faith Conquers Darkness

Matthew 9:32 ESV

As they were going away, behold, a demon-oppressed man who was mute was brought to him.

Matthew 9:33 ESV

And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.”

Matthew 9:34 ESV

But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”

4. Plenty to do, not enough to do it

Matthew 9:35 ESV

And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.

Matthew 9:36 ESV

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

Matthew 9:37 ESV

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few;

Matthew 9:38 ESV

therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
