Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him!

[NOTE TO TEACHER] The focus of this lesson is really on the issues that Paul highlights in his rebuke of Bar-Jesus (Elymas). The devil’s work is to bring confusion and misdirection - but God is a God of clarity. His path is straight and His truth is clear. The goal of this lesson is to exhort people to discern when the devil is bringing confusion, and confront the enemy with the clarity and authority that comes from the Holy Spirit.

Communication happens only as we speak with clarity. Failure to be clear brings confusion, conflict, and disunity.

To make the Christian life about anything other than Christ is to make the Cross useless. Therefore, as those committed to the Cross, we keep Christ central and the gospel simple. Our commitment to the Cross drives us to make much of Christ and to proclaim the gospel.

Jesus performs miracle of healing of the blind man. This miracle is teaching on two levels. There is the obvious display of HIs power to heal in the physical. But, deeper there is His power to heal in the spiritual. We see ourselves in this blind man for blindness is a univeral condition. Anyone who does not know the savior is blind. Though we have physical sight, a life apart from Christ is still one of blindness. It is only when Jesus applies his healing salve to this man's eyes that he is able to see. Blindness can only be cured by the unique touch of Jesus. But even though Jesus touches him to heal him, the initial touch is not sufficient to completely restore his sight. This is not a deficiency in Jesus, but rather a display of his omniscience and sovereignty. Omniscience in his knowing of the deficientt faith of the blind man. Along with his knowledge there is patience for he does not leave the man in frustration or disappointment for not having enough faith to be healed after only one touch. Sovereignty in his methodology of healing. This is the only two-stage healing miracle. It was his preference to touch this man twice. Perhaps in this healing miracle Jesus is showing us that our healing is a treatment plan tailored uniquely for us. He will allow us to experience limited sight for a season, but desires total restoration. He does not leave this man until his healing is complete.
