O Say Can You See - The Gospel According to Mark: Following Jesus (Ch 8:22-30)

If you've ever been to the eye doctor, you are familiar with what is usually the last test given in order to correct poor vision. The doctor puts the big goggle-like machine over your eyes and begins to flip different lenses asking "Which is better, this one or that one." And even though the differences may seem small, they help us to have the clearest vision possible. When the people brought a blind man to Jesus to be healed, he goes through a similar sort of test, gradually restoring this man's sight to see things clearly. In this miracle, Jesus is showing his disciples and us the need we have for our spiritual eyesight to be corrected such that we can clearly see and understand who he is and why he has come.
