Lent 2014 day 23 by ric gustafson


Mark 8:25- ' He looked with his eyes wide open, his sight was restored and he could see everything clearly'.


In this story, Jesus heals this man twice. This man had faith because he begged Jesus to heal him. So why doesn't Jesus completely restore his sight the first time?.  This man had always been blind and now he had partial sight. He wanted more and asked Jesus to completely give him sight. He could see shadows of people but not their faces. He wanted to see Jesus's face. He desired to see the face of the Son of God. This man wanted to see Jesus completely.
How often do we walk away from Jesus with partial sight. We get caught up in the world and turn away from Jesus. We need to pray to Jesus that he will completely open our eyes so that we can see him clearly and completely.
