Matthew 9:27-30
New Living Translation (NLT)
27 After
Jesus left the girl’s home, two blind men followed along behind him, shouting,
“Son of David, have mercy on us!”
28 They went
right into the house where he was staying, and Jesus asked them, “Do you
believe I can make you see?”
“Yes,
Lord,” they told him, “we do.”
29 Then he
touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, it will happen.” 30 Then
their eyes were opened, and they could see! Jesus sternly warned them, “Don’t
tell anyone about this.”
Jesus didn’t respond immediately to the blind men’s pleas.
He waited to see if they had faith. Not everyone who says he wants help really
believes God can help him. Jesus may have waited and questioned these men to
emphasize and increase their faith. When you think that God is too slow in
answering your prayers, consider that He might be testing you as He did the
blind men. Do you believe that God can help you? Do you really want His help?
