Whats With the Half Miracles in the Bible?

Lesson Theme: Miracles That Come in Stages

When our Savior performed a miracle, it was concise, thorough, and completely telling of the merciful and compassionate Father…  99% of the time it would result in INSTANT healing for those blessed to experience His physical touch.

I say 99% of the time because there are a few miracles that certainly seem to  DEVIATE from God’s usual method.

When I get to passages like Mark 8, I can’t help but read about Jesus spitting on the eyes of a blind man, and the man not being healed. What’s with that? Was it a warm-up lap?  Jesus healed a woman of an medical history of blood issues by a simple touch of the hem of His garment…   Why did it take TWO attempts to heal this man?

Note:  No PowerPoint lesson today. Let’s just use our Bibles and make some notes in the margins.
