Who is Jesus


“As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. 
Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you”;  
and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.”  
But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.” 
                                                                             Matthew 9:27-31.
Here Jesus heals two blind men who had the faith to believe he could heal them. It was their faith that healed them. They went to Jesus in faith expecting to be healed and he rewarded their faith.
He then told them not to tell anyone.
However a momentous thing had happened to them and they told it seems anyone who would listen to them.
Jesus here more than likely didn’t want to be strictly known as a faith healer. His purpose in life was to bring people out of their sin. The reconcile them to God. The miracles as great as they were, were only a small part of his ministry.
They showed that he was from God. But he I believe didn’t want to be known strictly for those miracles.
When we look at Jesus today we need to see him not as a miracle worker, not as a good moral teacher or simply a good man.
We need to see him as the one and Only Son of God. Our Lord and Savior.
How do you see Jesus.
Think about it.
