Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped. (Isaiah 35:5)
Elijah raised the dead.
Elisha raised the dead.
Moses parted the Red Sea and more.
Joshua parted the Jordan River.
There are amazing miracles recorded in the Old Testament.
Except giving sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf.
Those are reserved,
The unique purview of God … and the Messiah.
When John the Baptist sent word to Jesus,
Asking “Are you the one?”
Jesus said, “Tell John you what you have seen.
The blind see and the deaf hear.”
Give John the evidence.
The miracles are not just a manifestation of Jesus’ power.
They aren’t just an outworking of His compassion.
They are physical proof
Of a spiritual truth.
The Messiah came to give us spiritual sight.
He came to open our ears to the truth.
To demonstrate that, to confirm that
He gave physical sight and physical hearing.
We have the evidence.
Jesus is the Messiah.
