Two Blind Men - Matthew 9:27-31
“According to your faith will it be done to you” – is this
the same as “forgive us our trespasses and we forgive those who trespass against
us”? That in some respect we must participate with Jesus in our healing; we bear
some responsibility. When Jesus asks “Do
you believe I am able to do this?” Those with just a little faith, will receive
just a little healing; When we pray to be forgiven as we have forgiven others,
and if our forgiveness of others is small, so will God’s forgiveness of us?
When Jesus says “See that no one knows about this,” he has
just said it to two formerly blind men, who until just a few moments ago would
not been able to see anything, let alone that no one else knows about this.
Interesting that the story starts outside, and they follow
him in. There must be more to this
story, some details as to why this part was omitted. Yet in reading this, I understand that
sometimes we don’t have to leave the room right away, but linger, and see what
God does in that room or our lives when there is nothing pressing that is
next.
