Song # 777.2 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. From the Book of Matthew we read in chapter 9 that Jesus restored the sight of two blind men, and healed a mute man who was then able to speak.
Two blind men followed Jesus, calling out “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” (Matthew 9:27). When Jesus had gone indoors, the blind men came to Him, and He asked them “Do you believe that I can do this?” “Yes, Lord” they replied (Matthew 9:28). Then He touched their eyes and said “According to your faith it will be done to you” (Matthew 9:29). And their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly “See that no-one knows about this” (Matthew 9:30). But they went out and spread the news about Him all over that region (Matthew 9:31). While they were going out, a man who was demon- possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus (Matthew 9:32). And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel” (Matthew 9:33).
Thought for today: eyes of faith see God’s work.
Thought for the future: Jesus asks us to join Him for life. Where will you spend your eternity?
