Speaker 2: I am your host, Randy Black.
7
00:01:02,720 –> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: In the Gospel of Mark, chapter 8, verses 22 through 26, we find a remarkable account of Jesus healing a blind man in Bessiah.
8
00:01:14,120 –> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: This story stands out for its unique process, a gradual healing that offers profound lessons about faith, spiritual clarity, and the transformative power of Jesus
9
00:01:27,920 –> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: By examining this scripture, we will explore how Jesus’ compassionate and deliberate actions reveal truths about God’s work in our lives.
10
00:01:40,180 –> 00:01:47,939
Speaker 2: Before we dive into looking at the scripture, as we do each week, let’s open up with a word of prayer.
11
00:01:48,580 –> 00:01:55,700
Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of your word, which guides us and reveals your heart.
12
00:01:55,700 –> 00:01:59,540
Speaker 2: As we study the healing of the blind man in Bethsidah
13
00:01:59,640 –> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Open our eyes to see the spiritual truths you wish to teach us.
14
00:02:04,680 –> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: Help us to grow in faith and in understanding, trusting in your perfect timing and your plan.
15
00:02:12,420 –> 00:02:15,060
Speaker 2: In the name of your son Jesus we pray.
16
00:02:15,060 –> 00:02:16,020
Speaker 2: Amen.
17
00:02:23,660 –> 00:02:27,260
Speaker 2: Mark chapter 8, verses 22 through 26.
18
00:02:27,260 –> 00:02:33,819
Speaker 2: And they came to Beth Seda, and some people brought a man who was blind to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.
19
00:02:33,740 –> 00:02:43,980
Speaker 2: Taking the man who was blind by the hand, he brought him out of the village, and after spitting in his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked him, Do you see anything?
20
00:02:43,740 –> 00:02:49,420
Speaker 2: And he looked up and said, I see people, for I see them like trees, walking around.
21
00:02:49,420 –> 00:02:55,420
Speaker 2: Then again he laid his hands on his eyes, and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly.
22
00:02:55,420 –> 00:02:58,140
Speaker 2: And he sent him to his home, saying,
23
00:02:57,740 –> 00:03:02,940
Speaker 2: Do not even enter the village.
24
00:03:02,940 –> 00:03:10,540
Speaker 2: In this passage, Jesus begins by responding to the faith of those who brought the blind man to him.
25
00:03:10,160 –> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: The community’s involvement demonstrates the power of intercession as they actively sought Jesus’ help on behalf of their friend.
26
00:03:19,320 –> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: This reminds us of the importance of bringing others to Christ through prayer and through encouragement.
27
00:03:26,600 –> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: Jesus leads the man away from the village before performing this healing.
28
00:03:31,020 –> 00:03:36,860
Speaker 2: This act of separation underscores the personal nature of the encounter.
29
00:03:36,860 –> 00:03:44,220
Speaker 2: Jesus often withdrew from crowds to perform miracles, emphasizing intimacy in his interactions.
30
00:03:44,220 –> 00:03:52,780
Speaker 2: By taking the man aside, Jesus shows his desire for focused and individual attention in addressing our needs
31
00:03:53,140 –> 00:03:56,019
Speaker 2: The healing itself occurs in two stages.
32
00:03:56,019 –> 00:04:00,500
Speaker 2: After the first touch, the man’s vision is partially restored.
33
00:04:00,500 –> 00:04:05,459
Speaker 2: He sees people, but perceives them as indistinct shapes
34
00:04:06,020 –> 00:04:10,180
Speaker 2: With the second touch, his sight becomes clear.
35
00:04:10,180 –> 00:04:14,900
Speaker 2: This gradual process is unique and invites reflection.
36
00:04:15,120 –> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: It illustrates how spiritual growth and understanding often unfold progressively, requiring patience and a continued trust in God.
37
00:04:26,180 –> 00:04:34,500
Speaker 2: Jesus’ command for the man not to return to the village may have practical and spiritual implications.
38
00:04:34,740 –> 00:04:40,900
Speaker 2: It could be a directive to avoid disbelief or distraction that might hinder his new faith.
39
00:04:40,900 –> 00:04:48,820
Speaker 2: It also points to the broader theme of obedience and walking in the light of Christ’s work in our lives.
40
00:04:50,319 –> 00:04:54,319
Speaker 2: This scripture reveals some key takeaways for us.
41
00:04:54,319 –> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: The first is that faith is often communal as others’ prayers and actions can bring us closer to Jesus
42
00:05:02,020 –> 00:05:06,820
Speaker 2: The blind man was brought to Jesus by those who believed in his healing power.
43
00:05:06,820 –> 00:05:16,660
Speaker 2: This act of intercession shows how faith can be a shared journey, where the prayers and the efforts of a community play a vital role.
44
00:05:16,860 –> 00:05:24,220
Speaker 2: In our own lives, we can reflect on how others have supported us in our spiritual walk
45
00:05:24,680 –> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: And consider how we can intercede for those who need God’s touch.
46
00:05:30,600 –> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: Faith is not meant to be isolated
47
00:05:34,320 –> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: It thrives in a community of believers who uplift one another.
48
00:05:40,160 –> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: Our second key takeaway here is that God’s work in our lives is personal.
49
00:05:45,920 –> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: And often takes us out of our comfort zones.
50
00:05:50,640 –> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: Jesus led the blind man out of the village to heal him, creating a private and focused setting
51
00:05:58,320 –> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: This reminds us that God’s work in our lives is deeply personal.
52
00:06:02,480 –> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes He may ask us to step away from familiar environments or from distractions to encounter Him fully
53
00:06:11,060 –> 00:06:21,380
Speaker 2: This can be uncomfortable, but it’s in these moments of separation that we experience his transformative power most profoundly.
54
00:06:22,060 –> 00:06:31,180
Speaker 2: Our third takeaway is that spiritual clarity and maturity may come in stages requiring us to trust God’s timing and his methods
55
00:06:31,820 –> 00:06:38,140
Speaker 2: The two-stage healing illustrates that spiritual growth is often a process.
56
00:06:38,140 –> 00:06:41,340
Speaker 2: At first, the blind man’s vision was blurry.
57
00:06:41,340 –> 00:06:46,060
Speaker 2: But Jesus continued his work until the man could see clearly.
58
00:06:46,060 –> 00:06:53,820
Speaker 2: Similarly, other our understanding of God’s truth may begin with partial clarity.
59
00:06:53,920 –> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: Requiring patience as he refines our vision.
60
00:06:58,560 –> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: Trusting in God’s methods and timing is essential as we grow in faith and in discernment
61
00:07:06,199 –> 00:07:19,319
Speaker 2: And our last takeaway from this scripture is that once healed or restored, we are called to walk in obedience and to avoid returning to patterns or environments that could hinder our growth.
62
00:07:20,140 –> 00:07:28,620
Speaker 2: Jesus instructed the man not to return to the village, which may have represented a place of disbelief or of negative influence.
63
00:07:28,740 –> 00:07:35,460
Speaker 2: This command reminds us that spiritual transformation requires us to make deliberate choices.
64
00:07:35,460 –> 00:07:37,220
Speaker 2: When God restores us
65
00:07:37,560 –> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: We are called to avoid circumstances that might jeopardize our progress, and to walk in obedience to his guidance.
66
00:07:46,040 –> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: By doing so, we honor the work he has done in our lives.
67
00:07:53,200 –> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: The blind man’s journey mirrors our own spiritual walk.
68
00:07:57,280 –> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: Just as his vision was restored in stages.
69
00:08:00,820 –> 00:08:09,300
Speaker 2: We too find the uh that understanding God’s purpose and plan for our lives unfolds gradually
70
00:08:09,720 –> 00:08:15,479
Speaker 2: This process can be challenging, especially when we desire immediate answers or results.
71
00:08:15,479 –> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: However, Jesus’ actions in this passage remind us that he is intentional and compassionate in his timing.
72
00:08:23,680 –> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: The man’s partial sight after the first touch is a metaphor for our limited spiritual perception.
73
00:08:31,200 –> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: We may grasp glimpses of God’s truth, but struggle to see the full picture
74
00:08:37,120 –> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: This highlights the importance of staying close to Jesus, allowing him to continue his work in us until we achieve greater clarity and understanding
75
00:08:48,779 –> 00:08:58,620
Speaker 2: Furthermore, Jesus’ directive to avoid the village speaks to the need for setting boundaries and making choices that align with our spiritual growth.
76
00:08:58,740 –> 00:09:08,740
Speaker 2: When God transforms us, he often calls us to leave behind old habits, environments, or relationships that could jeopardize our progress.
77
00:09:09,380 –> 00:09:15,220
Speaker 2: This passage also encourages us to be patient with ourselves and with others.
78
00:09:15,220 –> 00:09:23,700
Speaker 2: Just as Jesus did not rush the healing process, we should not expect instant spiritual maturity.
79
00:09:22,740 –> 00:09:30,340
Speaker 2: Growth takes time, and each step is a testament to God’s grace and faithfulness
80
00:09:32,180 –> 00:09:38,180
Speaker 2: As we finish our study of the scripture, let’s close that with a prayer.
81
00:09:38,180 –> 00:09:39,860
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus.
82
00:09:40,440 –> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: God, thank you for your compassionate and deliberate work in our lives.
83
00:09:46,760 –> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: We trust in your timing and ask for patience and faith
84
00:09:51,259 –> 00:09:55,019
Speaker 2: as you guide us toward spiritual clarity.
85
00:09:55,019 –> 00:10:01,259
Speaker 2: Help us to walk in obedience and avoid anything that could hinder our growth in you.
86
00:10:01,620 –> 00:10:09,300
Speaker 2: May we also be faithful in bringing others to you, trusting in your power to transform.
87
00:10:09,300 –> 00:10:11,779
Speaker 2: In your holy name we pray.
88
00:10:11,779 –> 00:10:12,740
Speaker 2: Amen.

95
00:10:33,020 –> 00:10:37,420
Speaker 2: This podcast operates under the value for value model.
96
00:10:36,700 –> 00:10:46,540
Speaker 2: We hope that we are providing value to you through the work we do each week in researching, preparing, scripting, recording these episodes, and that you would then in turn
97
00:10:46,920 –> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: provide value back to us.
98
00:10:48,440 –> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: And that can come in three forms.
99
00:10:49,800 –> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: And under the value for value model, we refer to those as the three Ts.
100
00:10:53,800 –> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: Time
101
00:10:54,540 –> 00:10:55,899
Speaker 2: Talent and treasure.
102
00:10:55,899 –> 00:11:00,300
Speaker 2: Time is as simple as taking the time to listen to the episode each week.
103
00:11:00,300 –> 00:11:01,899
Speaker 2: Learning something from it
104
00:11:02,000 –> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: It could also include taking the time to share it with someone else, someone that you feel might be touched by it, or could use the insights from it to help in their walk or to even bring them to the Lord
105
00:11:15,779 –> 00:11:18,740
Speaker 2: Talent would be offering to assist us in some way.
106
00:11:18,740 –> 00:11:23,620
Speaker 2: That could be by offering to step up and provide cover art for each episode.
107
00:11:23,620 –> 00:11:26,339
Speaker 2: Because we do create a different cover art for every episode.
108
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: It could be that you step up and you offer to provide scripture for us to look at and examine, uh, give us ideas for a lesson that we can use.
109
00:11:36,200 –> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: It could even be stepping up and offering to write
110
00:11:39,040 –> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: a lesson or a script for the show and even stepping out and recording with us and being a part of the show in person
111
00:11:46,839 –> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: And treasure, obviously by its name, means something that is valuable to individuals.
112
00:11:52,360 –> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: In this case, treasure under value for value.
113
00:11:54,839 –> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: refers to something that is typically financial.
114
00:11:57,560 –> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: So we we do have ways for you to support us financially to help with the show because we do have costs.
115
00:12:02,759 –> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: It costs just for the production, for the hosting.
116
00:12:05,880 –> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: Um, you can do that through a couple of ways.
117
00:12:07,959 –> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: If you’re listening in a modern podcast app, and I hope you are, you should be
118
00:12:12,080 –> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: Uh in a modern podcast app you have the ability to stream Satoshis, they’re very, very small amounts of Bitcoin to the show as you listen.
119
00:12:20,080 –> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: You also have the option to send a boost or a boostigram to the show.
120
00:12:23,280 –> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: That’s an attachment of some amount of Satoshis.
121
00:12:26,360 –> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: Plus, if it’s a booster gram, it includes a message to show us encouragement.
122
00:12:31,560 –> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: You can also use that to send in prayer requests, and we’ll get to those here shortly.
123
00:12:36,120 –> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: You can also head to our website and there’s a place there where you can go to a service called Auphonic that we use to process audio and you can purchase credits.

Speaker 2: Um my dad as he’s continuing his process of of going through these cancer treatments.
134
00:13:45,700 –> 00:13:52,820
Speaker 2: Yeah, he went and had a mold made for the radiation treatments he’s gonna have, and he’ll start those treatments right after the first of the year.
135
00:13:52,820 –> 00:13:54,420
Speaker 2: Uh so we’re hoping by
136
00:13:55,560 –> 00:14:04,040

137
00:14:04,040 –> 00:14:08,520
