Do We Believe Jesus Can Do This? Family Reflection Video

Do we follow Jesus into the house?

The two men who are blind witness to this faithful perseverance in that they were out; they weren’t sitting at home in despair feeling sorry for themselves instead they were together making their way in search of an answer. When Jesus doesn’t respond immediately, they don’t give up.

Then the Lord asks an important question: “Do you believe I can do this?” This shows us that Jesus had heard their cry for help. Whatever cares, long-lasting struggles you may bring to this Friday in Advent, the Word of God offers us hope through hearing of God’s enduring faithfulness to the people of Israel, the two blind men, and each of us.

What are you bringing to Jesus this week?

May God bless you all as we make our way through this holy season together!
