Why did Jesus heal a blind man in two stages rather than all at once? In this expository sermon from Mark 8:22–26, Leon Pretorius shows that Jesus' deliberate, progressive healing is a living object lesson: spiritual understanding is a gift from God that grows over time, through the means He has ordained. Drawing on the disciples' own journey and key passages across Scripture, this message calls believers to pursue Christ through His Word, guard against the arrogance that knowledge can breed, and extend patient, loving grace to one another as we all walk the road of growing in Him.
