Matthew 9:27-31 Son of David - This was the same as if they had called him Messiah. Two things here are worthy of remark: 1) It was a generally received opinion at this time in Judea, that the Messiah should be son of David (John 7:42). 2) Jesus Christ was generally and incontestably acknowledged as coming from this stock (Matthew 12:23). At this time that the Jews expected the Messiah would appear; these blind men knew and proclaimed in the streets of Capernaum that he had come, and that Jesus was he. Those who, by the providence of God, have lost their bodily sight, may by the grace of God, have the eyes of their understanding fully enlightened. And whatever our wants and burdens are, we need look no further than to share in the mercy of our Lord Jesus. In Christ is enough for all. They followed him crying aloud. He would try their faith, and would teach us always to pray, and not to faint, though the answer does not come at once. They followed Christ, and followed him crying; but the great question is, Do ye believe? Nature may make us earnest, but it is only grace that can work faith. Christ touched their eyes. He gives sight to blind souls by the power of his grace along with his word, and he puts the cure upon their faith. Those who make a request of Christ shall be answered according to their faith.
