00:00The miracle of faith. Jesus heals the blind men in Matthew 9 27 31. Imagine walking through a crowd,
00:11burdened by your struggles, feeling unseen and unheard. Now, picture two blind men who couldn't
00:18see where they were going, but they knew exactly who to call out to. Matthew 9 27 minus 31 brings
00:25us face to face with two individuals whose physical blindness couldn't stop their spiritual
00:30insight. They knew Jesus was their hope, and their story shows us what it means to have faith that
00:36truly opens our eyes. Let's read these verses together. As Jesus went on from there, two blind
00:43men followed him, calling out, Have mercy on us, son of David. When he had gone indoors, the blind
00:50came to him, and he asked them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? Yes, Lord, they replied.
00:57Then he touched their eyes and said, According to your faith, let it be done to you, and their sight
01:03was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, See that no one knows about this. But they went out and
01:10spread the news about him all over that region. These men, even in their blindness, could see
01:16who Jesus was. They knew he had the power to heal, and they weren't going to let their condition
01:22stop them from reaching out to him. They cried out, Son of David, have mercy on us. The title,
01:29Son of David, shows that they recognized Jesus as the Messiah, the promised Savior of Israel. Their
01:36physical eyes may have been closed, but their hearts were wide open to the truth of who Jesus
01:41was. A cry for mercy. The first thing that stands out in this story is the cry for mercy.
01:48These blind men didn't ask for healing right away. They asked for mercy. This shows their deep
01:54understanding of their need for Jesus, not just as a healer, but as the one who could offer them
01:59something even more profound, his compassion, his grace. Mercy means receiving something you don't
02:05deserve, and they knew they needed more than just physical healing. They needed Jesus' compassion
02:11to touch every part of their lives. In our lives, how often do we cry out for mercy?
02:17When we are in desperate situations, it's easy to ask for help or relief, but these blind men
02:23teach us to first ask for mercy. Because mercy changes more than our circumstances, it changes
02:29our hearts. When we cry out to Jesus, we're not just asking him to change the situation, we're
02:36asking him to change us through the situation. Do you believe I can do this? When the blind men
02:42came closer, Jesus asked them a powerful question. Do you believe that I am able to do this?
02:48This was not just a question about healing their physical blindness. It was a deeper
02:53question about faith. Jesus wanted to know if they truly believed in his power and authority.
02:59This is a question Jesus asks all of us today. Do we believe that he is able to move in our lives?
03:06Do we believe that Jesus can heal, restore, and make new what seems broken? It's not enough to
03:12know about Jesus, we must believe in his power personally. Faith is not just a mental agreement
03:19but a trust in the character and power of Jesus. Faith is not wishful thinking, it's confidence in
03:25what Jesus can do, even when everything seems impossible. These blind men didn't hesitate.
03:32They answered with a simple yet profound, yes, Lord. They didn't say, we hope so, or, maybe.
03:39They were sure. They placed their faith entirely in Jesus, knowing that he could restore their sight.
03:46According to your faith, what happens next is extraordinary. Jesus touched their eyes and said,
03:52according to your faith let it be done to you. And immediately, their sight was restored. Notice
03:58the phrase, according to your faith. It wasn't just Jesus' power that healed them, but their
04:03faith in his power that made the miracle possible. Faith is the key that unlocks the power of Jesus
04:09in our lives. Jesus often works in our lives in proportion to our faith. It's not that Jesus'
04:16power is limited, but our experience of his power is often connected to our faith.
04:21When we trust him completely, we position ourselves to receive his full blessing.
04:27This doesn't mean that we control Jesus with our faith, but it does mean that Jesus responds
04:31to a heart that truly believes in him. If there's one thing to take away from this passage,
04:37it's the importance of faith. Faith that persists, faith that believes, and faith that cries out even
04:43when everything around you feels impossible. Spreading the good news, at the end of this
04:49passage, Jesus gives the blind men a curious instruction. He tells them, see that no one
04:55knows about this. This might seem strange, but Jesus often did this to avoid drawing too much
05:01attention to his miracles, as his time to fully reveal himself had not yet come. However, the
05:08blind men, now filled with joy and amazement, couldn't keep the miracle to themselves.
05:14They spread the news about Jesus all over the region. When Jesus works in our lives,
05:19it's hard to stay quiet. The natural response to his goodness is to share it with others.
05:25Just like these men, when we experience the power of Jesus, we should be eager to tell the world
05:31about it. We become living testimonies of his grace and love. In your own life, how has Jesus
05:37touched you? What miracles has he performed in your heart, your mind, your family, your relationships?
05:45Don't keep those stories to yourself. Share them, so others can know the goodness of Jesus.
05:51Real life example. Faith in action. Let's look at a modern day example. Think of someone who
05:57has been battling a chronic illness. Day after day, they cry out to Jesus, not only for healing
06:03but for mercy. Even when the doctor's report doesn't change, they continue to believe. And one
06:10day, the breakthrough comes. Jesus touches their life in a way that doctors can't explain. This is
06:16the power of faith, holding on to Jesus, even when circumstances don't make sense, trusting him
06:23because we know who he is. Faith isn't about perfect circumstances, it's about believing in a
06:29perfect savior. If you're watching this video, I want to encourage you to trust Jesus like the blind
06:35men did. Cry out to him for mercy in whatever area of life you need him. Believe that he is able to
06:42move, to heal, to restore. And once he does, don't keep it to yourself. Share what Jesus has done in
06:50your life so that others can experience his love and grace too. If this message spoke to your heart,
