President Barnes preaches on Mark 8:22-26

November 19, 2020 | Miller Chapel Scripture: Mark 8:22-26 This is the only account in the four gospels when Jesus has to touch someone twice in order to provide healing. Why was this second touch necessary? Clearly not because Jesus, who raised the dead, had to try harder. All of the healings in the gospels were not about the healings, but they were signs. This healing of the blind man is a sign that we need more grace than we have already received in order to see clearly. It doesn’t matter how much you have learned or experienced, there is more to the grace of Jesus than you have yet received.
