In the second message of our four-part series, Nicki Thorpe looks at the story of Jesus healing a blind man in Mark 8:22–25. Why did Jesus heal him in two stages? Perhaps it reminds us that healing is sometimes a process rather than an instant change.
Whether we are facing depression, mental illness or other struggles, we can trust that God is with us along the way. Partial healing is healing in progress, and just because we haven’t reached where we hoped to be doesn’t mean God has finished with us. We are encouraged to look up, remember who God is and trust his timing, even when his route looks different from the one we expected.
This message also challenges us to be honest about how we are really doing, both with God and with people we trust. And if we are in a good place ourselves, perhaps we can be the people who help bring others to Jesus.
