Mark 8:25: Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. (ESV)
I have always thought of what took place in this man's life from a salvation perspective. It is true that this passage reveals this man's spiritual blindness and need for salvation, but there is also an application for each of us individually and corporately.
Following this incident, Jesus' disciples also began to see more clearly as they came to understand in a deeper way His mission and purpose. They experienced clarity as they understood that He must go to the cross and die for the sins of the world.
Clarity is defined as clearness in what one is thinking, and clearness is simply being free from anything that darkness or obscures.
I really need clarity because my life and work are often obscured by the issues and challenges of life. As the saying goes, I often don't see the forest for the trees. I am glad there is someone who can bring clarity to life, and I experience that when I seek wisdom and direction from the One who sees all.
I need to remember this the next time I see men like trees, walking.
for me it is the w a i t i n g while seeking His wisdom, His plan, His schedule....come Lord Jesus Christ bring Light into our world, especially for the people of Haiti.
