Jesus Opens Our Eyes
In this unique miracle, found in Mark 8:22-30, Jesus heals the blind man in two steps. This dual approach reveals the truth about spiritual blindness: it is both pervasive and utterly unable to be healed by human effort. As Pastor Mark teaches, once we “see” our addiction to self-sufficiency, we then cry for greater clarity. Like he did with the blind man, Jesus touches us a second time, bringing salvation and complete restoration. He asks Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” Through Peter’s confession, “You are the Christ,” Jesus declares His sufficiency to clear our vision and meet our every need.
