The Blind Man of Bethsaida
1. Seeing Jesus for the first time — After laying His hands upon the blind man for the first time, Jesus asked “Seest thou aught?” This tells us that Jesus’ healing is first with his physical body. (v23)
2. Seeing Jesus for the second time — After laying His hands upon the blind man, he was fully restored and able to all things clearly. This tells us that Jesus’ healing is wholesome, even our inner blindness is healed. This opens up to what follows in Peter’s great understanding about Jesus. (v25)
Scripture of the Day (NT): Mark 8b (v22-38)
