Mark 8:22-26 And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man to him, and sought him to touch him.… I. Christ's work as a SALVATION. The restoring of sight was a point on the brilliant line, the end of which was the salvation of mankind; so was every miracle of healing. II. Christ's work as a PROCESS. The good work was not accomplished in this case, as in other's, by a word; it was done gradually. It is so in spiritual enlightenment. All good men do not see God with equal quickness or with equal clearness. III. Christ's work as a CONSUMMATION. "He was restored, and saw every man clearly." He will not leave His work until it be finished, if so be men beseech Him to go on to be gracious. (Dr. Parker.)
