Do You Believe?
Pastor: Pastor Marc Wragg Series: Matthew Topic: Faith Passage: Matthew 9:27–34
In His earthly ministry, Jesus demonstrated both the power and the character of God as He healed people of their physical infirmities and ministered to them impartially. But what role did faith play in this work? Did Jesus need their faith to heal? Two blind men called out to Him and asked for their sight to be restored, and Jesus responded with a question: Do you believe I am able to do this? It wasn’t that He could not heal without their faith, but rather that an affirmation of that faith was central to the work that He was about to do. Jesus restored their sight, but based on their confession of faith that He was indeed Lord, He also healed their spiritual deadness, which resulted in salvation. Saving faith is more than mental assent to the facts about Christ, it is entrusting your life to Him. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and do you follow Him as your Lord? If not, what is it that you are unwilling to give up?
