In Hebrews 7:25 we learn that Jesus is able to save completely those who come to God: we must trust Him, for He will do it according to our faith. What then is He able to do for us? We must turn to a few scriptures to find out:-ġ. “I am able….according to your faith” (Matthew 9:28-29). He is able to do certain wonderful things for you, but you must trust Him to do them, and the measure of your trust will determine the measure of your experience of His ability. After Jesus had asked them whether they believed He could give them their sight, while He was performing the miracle He said to them, “∺ccording to your faith will it be done.” We must not divorce this statement from Jesus’ question, for the two must go together while Christ is perfectly able to do certain things for us our faith must be operative if we are to prove His ability in our own lives. Read Matthew 9:27-30 and picture the two blind men described there who followed Jesus, asking Him to have mercy on them. This question introduces the theme of the first study of this series where we shall think of some of the wonderful things that Christ is able to do in, for, with and through all who will put their trust in Him. Of all the great questions asked in the New Testament, there is perhaps none greater than the one in our key-verse which was asked by the Lord.
