Daily QT: 09/08/2007 Mark 8:22-26
22They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" 24He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." 25Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't go into the village."

I love the man's quote: "I see people; they look like trees walking around." The specificity and beauty of his statement rings so real and true. I am reminded that these are not just stories but a report of real events.
Why did Jesus have to go through so many physical steps to heal this man? Why make a show of spitting on his hands, and why did he have to touch the man twice?
