The Blind See And The Dumb Speak
Can there be any doubt that Jesus is the Messiah?
Matthew 9:27-34
The Blind See
- Two blind men follow Jesus, acknowledging his deity, begging for mercy.
- Did they believe that Jesus could give them sight? Yes.
- “According to your faith, be it unto you.” What would you receive from God if all depended upon your faith?
- Although instructed not to tell anyone, they told everyone they met.
The Dumb Speak
- A demon-possessed man was unable to speak.
- Jesus cast out the demon and the man could speak.
- Never before had this been seen in Israel.
- As always, there was a Pharisee nearby who said that Jesus himself was demon-possessed.
Mark 6:1-6
- Back home, in a synagogue on the sabbath day, Jesus taught.
- Listeners wondered how someone without training could speak so authoritatively.
- They knew his father, his mother, his brothers and his sisters.
- Their unbelief prevented Jesus from doing many miracles in their midst.
