Almost There But Not There (Clarity In Stages)

On this podcast episode, we discuss the miracle Jesus performed when he healed the blind man in Bethsaida (Mark 8:22-26). When we read Jesus healed a blind man in stages, at first we wonder if Jesus has lost his mojo given that his other miracles were almost instantaneous. However, we soon learn that this healing in stages is a lesson on receiving clarity and revelation in stages. Through this miracle Jesus taught us that what we are praying for does not come overnight much like success. It takes growth and maturity to elevate in stages. As Christians, we should always continue to work towards growth. There is so much to learn and gain from the kingdom that does not come to us instantaneously. With patience and focus, we too can have clarity that revelation brings. We can achieve new sight into old situations with the help of the Holy Spirit ministering to us. Let us pray for the patience to grow in wisdom and understanding.
