Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged him to touch and heal him. Taking the blind man’s hand, Jesus led him out of the village. After spitting on his eyes and laying his hands on the man, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” The man looked up and said, “I see people. They look like trees, only they are walking around.” Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again. He looked with his eyes wide open, his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly. Then Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t go into the village!” (Mark 8:22-26, CEB)
This is always an interesting passage.
Jesus didn’t get it right the first time and the blind man saw walking trees. It took a second touch for him to see.
I wonder how many times Jesus would need to touch me in order for me to see?
And not see, but see like Jesus sees, or God sees.
What would the world be like if we saw people as God sees them?
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
