Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Gradual Grace: How Jesus Progressively Grows Our Faith, Part 1Series: Encountering Jesus Scripture: Mark 8:22–26 Episode: 1440 Scripture Summary:

In Mark 8:22–26, Jesus arrives at Bethsaida, where people bring Him a blind man and beg Him to heal him. Jesus takes the man by the hand and leads him outside the village. He then spits on the man's eyes and lays His hands on him, asking if he can see. The man replies, "I see people; they look like trees walking around." Jesus places His hands on the man's eyes again, and this time his sight is fully restored, and he sees everything clearly. Jesus tells him not to go back into the village.

Key themes include: the compassion of Jesus, healing through process, spiritual and physical restoration, and the importance of personal encounter with Christ.
