“Jesus Heals The Blind And Mute”
First off I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. I know I did. Also refreshed from a week off and getting to spend some real quality time with Micah and Zachary this past week. Special thanks to the Holcomb family for hosting part of the week and a shout out to my new friend CC, keep them in line and don’t let a penny pass. Now back to business.
Matthew:
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.”
According to your faith let it be done to you! If these blind men had any doubt they would not have been healed? I think not. But I also believe that their hearts were prepared for this time as to not lack any faith so that people could see who Jesus is and believe. Also just like anywhere else there were the doubters and the troublemakers that think it is evil at work. If Jesus was driving out demons by the prince of demons everything He touched would have failed for a house turned upon itself will fall. If a team of people fighting amongst themselves continues to fight the team will split and one will be against the other so there is now way that Jesus was driving demons out by the prince of demons. These are some great things to PRaP today. Is yours a house divided? Is there doubt in your faith?
Peace and Agape Love,
Steve
