Big Healing Book - Matthew 9:27-30

Matthew 9:27-30:

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straightway charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

Notes on Matthew 9:27-30:

These blind men had to follow Jesus, perhaps for a while. The only reason they did is that they believed Jesus could heal them. Here we see that the blind men, as many others, considered healing a mercy. Because Jesus is our merciful High Priest (Hebrews 2:17), you should expect the same mercy from Him today.

This also shows that healing was not a publicity stunt; Jesus told the formerly blind men not to go around telling people what had happened. Jesus was moved by compassion for the sick, not by a desire to make a big name for Himself.

Sadly, there are places today, including many churches, where you could be better off not telling anyone what Jesus did for you, lest they all try to talk their unbelief into you and get you to give up your healing, which in some cases they will assert was “of the devil!” Because some people ascribed Jesus’ actions to the devil in the Bible, you can bet that there will be some people who do so today.
