More people heard about Jesus’ miraculous work. Two blind men met Jesus on the road. They recognized him as Son of David, the promised Messiah, and asked for his mercy (27). Jesus validated their faith and restored their sight by touching their eyes and showing himself as the Messiah (Isaiah 35:5). Although Jesus warned them not to spread the word, they could not contain their overwhelming joy, and the whole region heard about what Jesus had done.

Some people brought a man who was mute because of a demon. Jesus freed the man from the demon, and he could speak again. The crowd was amazed at seeing the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Messiah (Isaiah 42:7). However, those who opposed the gospel work became even more stubborn, accusing Jesus of being assisted by the prince of demons (34).

While Jesus is willing and able to heal, restore, and free each one of us, those who choose to remain in the darkness will not see the light (John 3:20). Would you come, meet Jesus the Messiah today, and ask for his mercy, inviting his light into your heart?
Application: Father, I trust Jesus to have the power and authority over my life. Please help me to have a humble heart to seek him and ask for his mercy.
One Word: Believe in Jesus
