Luke 7:22-23
To Be(lieve) or Not to Be(lieve): That Was John’s Question

Jesus Knew His Great Results Could Be Considered Unbelievable

Blind Given Sight
Lame Made to Walk
Lepers Made Clean
Deaf Given Hearing
Dead Restored to Life

All Good News for the Poor … in Spirit, Health, and Hope

So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.”

Open Eyes
Turn People from Darkness to Light

” ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied.

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, by faith in me.’” NIV
