Description

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
