Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 9:29

When Jesus healed a blind man in John 9, He did more than cure a physical ailment. He opened a heart’s eyes to faith. Yet as the Pharisees interrogated the man, they showed what hearts look like when they are still blinded by proud unbelief. The ministry of Jesus is to transform hearts, turning them to God, as He did for the man born blind.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear (Franklin D. Roosevelt). When God makes us a promise or we need Him to show up in the midst of our situation, the only requirement asked of us is to believe. We hear all the time that we should be fearless & courageous. But, what if God only requires our Faith?

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.
