How did Jesus cure the blind man at the Bethsida?

Hello brethren

I want to contribute to the question ( How did Jesus cure the blind man at the Bethsida?)

According to the scripture in Mark 8: 22-26, I read;
And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. And Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”

Consider the situation of the blind man, while blind, he saw absolutely nothing. When Jesus first touched him, his vision improved, he saw men, though they looked like trees. To one who had been totally blind, that was fantastic progress, but Jesus could do more, He touched the man again and he began to see perfectly.
Unfortunately, in the spiritual realm, some people, including some Christians, are satisfied with one touch, they see, but not clearly. Many don’t even realise that they need a complete cure, and they have become content to see men like trees walking.

Consider, for example, someone whose life has been totally devastated by sin, they hear about Jesus, begin to follow many of His teachings and their life improves.

Sadly, however, the people who are unaware that they lack understanding of Jesus’ words in many areas and they settle for distorted vision. Let’s check out our own lives, could it be that we still aren’t seeing clearly, and that Jesus could restore our vision perfectly?
Jesus said that neither the blind man nor his parents had sinned. The purpose of the blindness was that “the works of God should be revealed in him,” (John 9:3).

Thank you!
