STEPS TO HEALING AND SIGHT
Look Closely: Compare the healings in Mark 8:22-26 and Mark 7:31-37, and you will see that in each case, Jesus did the healing privately and used physical touch. In Mark 7, He asked them not to tell anyone of the healing, and in Mark 8, He sent the man who regained his sight directly home. Why did Jesus use these methods?
-In Mark 8:22-26 we see the man’s blindness is healed in two stages. At first, he regains blurred vision; then Jesus touches him again, and he sees clearly. How does this mirror the spiritual blindness of Jesus’ disciples in 8:19-21?
-Our own discipleship failure can often result from our spiritual blindness. How is Jesus helping you see spiritual truth more clearly? How can you cooperate with Him in gaining a clearer kingdom vision so you can become more like Jesus?
Challenge: What is God saying to you? What are you going to do about it?

In a world of hostility, corruption, and confusion, a regular guy named Mark wrote his gospel to boldly proclaim that Jesus is THE good news. Mark writes with urgency and purpose, giving you a front-row seat to the Story of Jesus. This plan will help you understand that Story through the teachings, miracles, discipleship, and life of Jesus so that you can follow Jesus as his disciple.
