Jesus arrives in Bethsaida to find some friend's of a blind man begging Him to touch their friend so he could be healed. Jesus takes the man by the hand and leads him outside the village. Once outside the village Jesus heals him. This miracle seems to occurs in two stages, but why? Why outside the village? Well, spiritual growth also happens in stages, and most of the time God wants to remove us from the place that we are at in our life as well. We to are spiritually blinded by sin, in need of healing. We need the special attention of Jesus to be healed. When Jesus heals us of our spiritual blindness, it may take awhile to see clearly. By coming to Jesus through obedience to the gospel, by continuing to walk with Him we will see more clearly day by day.
