Matt 12:22-37

It seems that the magnitude of the healings are increasing, perhaps to show the movement toward the end of the story. Here a man is both blind and possessed. His healing prompts the crowd to question if Jesus might be the messiah they are looking for. It is interesting that Jesus' response is to talk about knowing someone by the nature of their actions. It is easy to make a claim about yourself, it is a whole other thing to live in such a way that others make the claim about you.


Do others say about you the things you say about yourself?
