Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

If you heard someone had raised someone from the dead, would you believe they could heal you? That is the question facing two blind men in this story. It's clear from Matthew's account the report about the raising of Jarius' daughter had "spread throughout that whole area." As a result, these two men followed Jesus, crying out to Him for healing. Imagine trying to follow Jesus without being able to see Him. They were desperate for healing, so they listened intently for His voice through a crowd of people surrounding the Lord. It's not hard to imagine them stumbling along the way. Somehow they managed to stay close enough for Him to hear their plea, and when the moment came, they told Him they believed, and their faith became sight.

Questions for Reflection

• What keeps you from seeing Jesus and believing He can help you?
• How can you stay close to Him, even if you can't always see Him and "crowds" seem to be in the way?
• Do you have someone in your life who can help you stumble towards Jesus?
