These verses highlight several key points about a life of faith in Jesus. First, it shows Jesus’ abundance of mercy and compassion, being moved by the blind men’s plight and thus healing them. Although the crowd may have thought differently, this story shows how Jesus is willing to heal and restore all people, no matter who they are or what their situation is.
Secondly, this passage shows the importance of faith and what it looks like. Once the blind men were healed, they immediately followed Jesus. Figuratively speaking, we were those who were blind but now see through God’s grace and love. After receiving “sight”, we too must respond to this love by following God and Jesus, truly living according to their teachings.
