The Healing We All Need (11 of 28)
Series: The Gospel of Mark: The True Story of the Son of God

Mark 7:31-8:26
Because of sin the world there are a myriad of problems one of which is spiritual death, deafness, and blindness. We are not naturally spiritually discerning- in fact we are much the opposite. We are spiritually deaf and blind. We are spiritually dead. So we don't ''naturally'' recognize the beauty, worth, and value of Jesus Christ. No, that has to come by God revealing that supernaturally. Left to ourselves we just wander like sheep without a Shepherd.

Spiritual realm- We are dead in our sins. Rebels. Lost. Spiritually we are deaf to the things of God, blind to the beauty of Christ.
In Mark we see King Jesus bring the healing the world needs... both physically and spiritually. He's the one who has come to put an end to the curse. The Kingdom has been inaugurated and will be consummated. In Christ's life and ministry we see how things could be and should be, and will be.

And once we have it... that doesn't mean we have arrived...we have sight, we have hearing... but the journey has just begun and growth is a process.
Mk. 7:21-37- The Healing of a Deaf Man
This story and the healing of the blind man in 8:22-26 are only recorded in Mark. They have some similarities. Jesus took both men aside from the crowd, he physically touched both men. He used saliva in both miracles, both men were brought to him and both were told to be qui ...
