“And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.” — Matthew 9:28–29 (KJV)

These men were blind, yet they followed Jesus. Though their eyes could not see, their hearts could. They pressed past obstacles and followed Him into the house. This is living faith—faith that moves before sight comes. True faith does not wait for perfect conditions. It pursues Christ with persistence.

Blindness did not stop them. Silence did not stop them. Delay did not stop them. Faith kept them moving.

The Question That Reveals the Heart

Jesus asked, “Believe ye that I am able to do this?”
Notice—He did not ask if they wanted healing. He asked if they believed He was able.

This question still confronts every soul today. Do we believe Jesus is able—not only in word, but in truth? Able to save completely. Able to heal deeply. Able to deliver fully. Able to keep us to the end.

Faith is not vague hope. Faith is confidence in who Christ is.

The Confession of Faith

They answered, “Yea, Lord.”
Two words—yet full of power.

They called Him Lord. They did not say, “Yes, teacher,” or “Yes, prophet,” but Lord. This was submission, trust, and worship. Faith speaks. Faith agrees with heaven. Faith declares Christ’s authority even before the miracle comes.

The Touch That Follows Faith

“Then touched he their eyes…”

Jesus responds to faith with action. The touch of Christ brings what human hands never can. When He touches blindness, sight comes. When He touches brokenness, healing flows. When He touches sin, forgiveness is released.

But notice the order—faith first, then the touch.

A Measure That Still Applies

“According to your faith be it unto you.”

This is a principle of the kingdom. Faith does not earn the miracle, but it receives it. Faith is the channel through which grace flows. The power was always in Christ—but their faith determined their experience of it.

This truth reaches into the last days. In an hour of deception, fear, and spiritual darkness, only those who truly trust Christ will see clearly. Faith will separate those who merely hear from those who truly believe.

Conclusion

Jesus is still asking the same question today:
“Do you believe that I am able?”

He is able to open blind eyes—both physical and spiritual. He is able to restore faith, revive hearts, and prepare His people for His return. The answer we give matters. The faith we carry matters.

May we answer as they did:
“Yea, Lord.”
And may we receive, according to our faith.
