MARK 8:22-26
Two interpretations of this passage:
1. A story about a blind man and a progressive healing.
Three things we need to see:
A. Jesus heals the sick.
B. Jesus took the man outside the village.
C. The man isn't completely healed the first time Jesus prays.
2. A literary device used by Mark to connect Mark chapters 1-8 to Mark chapters 9-16.
How we develop a distorted view of Jesus:
I. a misreading of the Scriptures
II. the curvature of our own heart's ambition
III. our worldview
