Jesus Cures Blindness

Mark 8:22-33

The Passage: Mark 8:22-33

1. The blindman stands as an example of having sight

but no true vision.

2. The disciples understood Jesus’ personhood but not

His true purpose.

The Most Important Question Of Your Life:

1. Who do YOU say Jesus Is?

2. Here’s some contemporary answers but only one is

correct.

A. Mythical figure.

B. Moral teacher.

C. Messiah and Savior of the World.

Truths To Live By:

1. Spiritual maturity is a process. 1 Peter 2:1-3

2. Suffering is a normal part of the Christian life.

Philippians 1:29-30

3. God’s agenda must always overrule your agenda.

4. What you believe about Jesus will determine your

eternal destiny. Philippians 2:9-11

5. Salvation is only found in Jesus. ACTS 4:12

Taking It Beyond The Walls: Don’t be ashamed to proclaim Jesus is LORD! However, let your life scream louder than your words. Live like Jesus is LORD!

Food For Thought

In the text from Mark we will read today, Jesus took the opportunity to examine His disciples about what they thought of Him. Why do you think Jesus took this opportunity to examine His disciples?

If Jesus asked you the same question He asked His early disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”, how would you respond?

Why is that answer not a sufficient one for Jesus? Why does He always ask the additional question, “Who do you say that I am?”

Read Mark 8:30-33: Why do you think Jesus told the disciples not to tell anyone about His true identity? How would their description of the Messiah at this time have fallen short of Jesus’ true identity and mission?

This weekend we heard about Jesus asking his followers, “Who do you say I am?” Our answer to this question will

continue to expand throughout our spiritual journey. Read through the following verses and jot down how they expand your understanding of who he is.

Isaiah 7:14

Isaiah 9:6

Matthew 1:21-23

John 6:35-40
