Summary

There is an unusual story in Mark 8 of Jesus healing a blind man. First, it’s unusual in that Jesus spits on the man’s eyes before laying his hands on them. (Can you imagine going to a prayer meeting with eye problems and before someone prays, they spit in your eyes?! ) But what is more unusual is what happens next. Jesus asks the man if he sees anything. The man replies, “I see men, but they look like trees walking.” It’s not until Jesus lays hands on him a second time that his eyesight is fully restored. So why the two-stage healing? Many think that Jesus was using this healing as an object lesson. Jesus had just talked about the Pharisees and their hard hearts. He also rebuked the disciples saying, "Having eyes do you not see?" So perhaps Jesus was showing that many people only partially see, but they lack true spiritual vision to clearly see and understand reality. In essence they lack a Biblical worldview. So how can we see clearly? How can we look at life through a Biblical lens? That’s what this new series is about.
