Matthew 20:29-34
In these verses we have a touching picture of an event in our Lord’s history. He heals two blind men sitting by the wayside, near Jericho. The circumstances of the event contain several deeply interesting lessons, which all professing Christians would do well to remember.
For one thing, let us mark what strong faith may sometimes be found where it might least have been expected. Blind as these two men were, they believed that Jesus was able to help them. They never saw any of our Lord’s miracles; they knew Him only by hear-say, and not face to face. Yet, as soon as they heard that he was passing by, they “cried out saying, Have mercy on us O Lord thou Son of David!”
