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.
What’s With the Half Miracles in the Bible – Lesson
“And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”
