Faith

Faith makes us do things, say things, pray things that we couldn't do if we didn't have faith. So when Jesus says to the blind beggar, receive your sight, for your faith has healed you!, he refers to the beggar's call for help. The beggar believed that Jesus was able to heal him when he screamed, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! And when Jesus asked him, what do you want me to do for you?, he was able to say with confidence, Lord, I want to see. If the beggar had doubted in the least, he would have either given up after the people told him to shut up, or he wouldn't have shouted at all. How important it is to have faith in Jesus and his power! Not only in theory, but also to expect this power in my life on a daily basis. Based on Luke 18:35-43
