757 Questions of Understanding (Questions Jesus Asked, Part 8)
from The Daily Grind · host John Spencer
Tuesday, April 28th: Episode 757 continues the Questions Jesus Asked series by focusing on questions of understanding, especially Jesus’ question in Mark 8: “Do you still not understand?” After feeding thousands, the disciples worry because they have forgotten to bring enough bread. Jesus uses that moment to expose their deeper problem: they have seen His provision but have not understood what it reveals about Him. This episode explores the difference between hearing and truly understanding, and how disciples can experience God’s faithfulness while still living as though scarcity has the final word. Jesus’ questions press the disciples to remember, perceive, and connect the dots. The episode also highlights the two-stage healing of the blind man in Mark 8 as a picture of the disciples’ blurry spiritual vision. Like them, we may see something of Jesus while still needing clearer sight. At the heart of the episode is the reminder that Jesus does not shame slow disciples. He questions them in order to awaken understanding, heal blurry vision, and train them to see reality in light of who He is.Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
