The David Spoon Experience 3-28-23 Part 1
A) It is one of the most profound teachings regarding faith. Two blind men follow Jesus. The question is, how did they follow Jesus? They were blind. The answer is that they heard and felt their way toward Him. Some people can’t see Jesus but can feel their way toward Him and hear Him.
B) They immediately recognized Jesus as the Messiah by calling him David's son. That is only a term reserved for the Messiah. And they recognized that in their situation, the only resolution was mercy. So, Jesus poses a question. Do you believe that I can do this? Do you believe that I can make you see? What’s important about this question is, every time we petition the Lord, we need to answer this before we ask.
C) Jesus then gives the key that the faith teaching that people should focus in on. They shouldn’t go and make this their entire walk. But this should be a part of the arsenal. After all, we’re supposed to have the shield of faith. Jesus said, because of your faith, it will happen. He didn’t say because of your positive faith, it would happen. He just said, because of your faith, it would happen. Something believers miss quite often is followers having faith for crummy things, and they end up getting crummy things “because” it’s according to your faith, so be it!
