HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in MatthewMuestra

Healing the Blind Men

Cover your eyes for a second and experience darkness. Now imagine how that must feel if you can’t see your surroundings. You are dependent on others for help and using your other senses. These two blind men must have heard the amazing stories of those healed by Jesus. Imagine them hearing the grateful cries of someone who was touched by him and healed. So when they heard he was in town, they followed the voices and cried out for mercy. And Jesus heard them.

Look what He said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” And their reply showed their reverence for his authority and ability. “Yes, Lord.” And Jesus answered by touching their eyes and saying, “According to your faith will it be done.” And their sight was restored immediately.

Questions:

1. Why do you think they asked Jesus to have mercy on them?

2. What role do you think their faith played in being receptive to Jesus’ power to heal?

3. Do you believe Jesus is able to heal you or your loved one?
