In this message, we look at one of Jesus' healings that is unique to the book of Mark. At first, this miracle appears to put Jesus in a bad light. In this miracle, Jesus' first attempt at healing this blind man appeared to not work. For the blind man, his healed vision was fuzzy. Everyone looked like trees walking around. It was only after a second touch from Jesus that this man could see clearly. Did Jesus' first attempt at healing this man fail? Join us as we learn what this miracle teaches us about the way Jesus cures spiritual blindness.
