The Healing of Two Blind Men

Mt 9:27-31

²⁷As Jesus passed [by], two blind men followed [him], crying out, “Son of David, have pity on us!” ²⁸When he entered the house, the blind men approached him and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they said to him. ²⁹Then he touched their eyes and said, “Let it be done for you according to your faith.” ³⁰And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” ³¹But they went out and spread word of him through all that land.

Reflection:

Do you believe that I can do this? The two men do three things. First, they follow Jesus. How can they follow the Lord when they are blind? They may be physically blind but are spiritually enlightened. They see Jesus as their savior and healer.

Second, they believe in the power of Jesus. As they believe, their physical sight is restored.

Third, they share Jesus with others. They spread word about him through all the land. They bear witness to him.

We must see our need for Jesus and follow him. We are blind if we give in to the cravings of our appetites and ambitions, follow the call to fame and glamour, and believe only in our personal power and ability. We must testify to Jesus and proclaim his goodness and love.

What are the things that blind you?

Ask Jesus to help you come to the light.
