God is Able

Text: Matthew 9:27-31 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” 28 And when He had come into 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.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country. Notice the following from this text: 1. The Two Blind Men The blind men were in a helpless, hopeless condition. The priest had not been able to help them. Their friends had not been able to help them. They were not able to help themselves. In the face of that, they had the testimony of the people and of history working against them. John 9:32, Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. In other words, “What you are asking is really impossible!” The Blind Men were up against the impossible.
