00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:12.600
And<00:05:10.000><c> he</c><00:05:10.139><c> had</c><00:05:10.300><c> no</c><00:05:10.600><c> problem</c><00:05:10.879><c> at</c><00:05:11.120><c> all</c><00:05:11.399><c> conveying</c><00:05:12.019><c> into</c><00:05:12.220><c> the</c><00:05:12.439><c> hand</c>

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.100
Here's<00:05:30.839><c> a</c><00:05:31.019><c> contrast.</c>

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:34.920

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.100
We<00:05:41.459><c> can</c><00:05:41.620><c> recall</c><00:05:41.839><c> the</c><00:05:42.079><c> example</c><00:05:42.319><c> of</c><00:05:42.480><c> Moses,</c><00:05:43.519><c> of</c><00:05:43.740><c> Elijah,</c><00:05:44.220><c> of</c><00:05:44.300><c> Elisha.</c>

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.939
But<00:05:47.699><c> men</c><00:05:47.839><c> who</c><00:05:47.959><c> had</c><00:05:48.060><c> to</c><00:05:48.319><c> beseech</c><00:05:48.720><c> Yahweh</c><00:05:49.420><c> that</c><00:05:50.019><c> he</c><00:05:50.180><c> might</c><00:05:50.420><c> work,</c>

00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:55.639
This<00:05:53.279><c> is</c><00:05:53.319><c> what</c><00:05:53.420><c> the</c><00:05:53.620><c> Lord</c><00:05:53.740><c> said</c><00:05:53.939><c> in</c><00:05:54.100><c> John</c><00:05:54.339><c> chapter</c><00:05:54.699><c> 11</c><00:05:55.060><c> when</c><00:05:55.240><c> he</c>

Then<00:06:00.100><c> they</c><00:06:00.240><c> took</c><00:06:00.439><c> away</c><00:06:00.660><c> the</c><00:06:00.939><c> stone</c><00:06:01.120><c> from</c><00:06:01.319><c> the</c><00:06:01.560><c> place</c><00:06:01.800><c> where</c>

00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:09.500
It's<00:15:07.220><c> not</c><00:15:07.320><c> as</c><00:15:07.480><c> though</c><00:15:07.580><c> the</c><00:15:07.779><c> Lord</c><00:15:07.960><c> had</c><00:15:08.600><c> some</c><00:15:08.940><c> miracles</c><00:15:09.379><c> that</c>

Now<00:16:32.679><c> here,</c><00:16:33.039><c> brothers</c><00:16:33.039><c> and</c><00:16:33.200><c> sisters,</c><00:16:33.399><c> is</c><00:16:33.559><c> a</c><00:16:33.740><c> miracle</c><00:16:33.980><c> that</c><00:16:34.100><c> was</c>

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:36.100
clearly<00:16:34.600><c> done</c><00:16:34.759><c> in</c><00:16:34.940><c> two</c><00:16:35.159><c> stages.</c>

00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:38.940
We<00:16:37.059><c> know</c><00:16:37.259><c> from</c><00:16:37.440><c> the</c><00:16:37.639><c> gospel</c><00:16:37.860><c> record</c><00:16:38.139><c> of</c><00:16:38.299><c> John</c><00:16:38.500><c> that</c><00:16:38.620><c> the</c><00:16:38.799><c> Lord</c>

00:16:38.940 --> 00:16:40.639
could<00:16:39.100><c> have</c><00:16:39.320><c> cured</c><00:16:39.480><c> that</c><00:16:39.799><c> man</c><00:16:39.980><c> in</c><00:16:40.299><c> one</c>

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.279

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.899
But<00:16:44.039><c> he</c><00:16:44.399><c> deliberately</c><00:16:45.159><c> healed</c><00:16:45.779><c> this</c><00:16:46.120><c> man</c><00:16:46.379><c> in</c><00:16:46.679><c> two</c><00:16:46.919><c> stages.</c>

00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:50.720
The<00:16:48.720><c> first</c><00:16:48.960><c> reason</c><00:16:49.200><c> would</c><00:16:49.360><c> be</c><00:16:49.500><c> to</c><00:16:49.720><c> assist</c><00:16:49.940><c> the</c><00:16:50.220><c> faith</c><00:16:50.379><c> of</c><00:16:50.559><c> the</c>

blind<00:16:50.980><c> man.</c>

00:16:52.220 --> 00:16:55.879
As<00:16:52.480><c> he</c><00:16:52.840><c> was</c><00:16:53.179><c> taken</c><00:16:53.419><c> out</c><00:16:53.620><c> of</c><00:16:53.740><c> the</c><00:16:53.960><c> town,</c><00:16:54.980><c> as</c><00:16:55.159><c> he</c><00:16:55.299><c> was</c><00:16:55.440><c> led</c><00:16:55.600><c> away</c>

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.179
from<00:16:56.080><c> the</c><00:16:56.259><c> hustle</c><00:16:56.480><c> and</c><00:16:56.659><c> the</c><00:16:56.820><c> bustle</c><00:16:57.080><c> of</c>

00:16:57.179 --> 00:17:02.100
Bethsaida,<00:16:58.840><c> the</c><00:16:59.059><c> Lord</c><00:16:59.360><c> put</c><00:17:00.440><c> spittle</c><00:17:00.820><c> upon</c><00:17:01.039><c> his</c><00:17:01.279><c> eyes,</c><00:17:01.500><c> and</c><00:17:01.679><c> asked</c><00:17:01.879><c> him</c><00:17:02.000><c> if</c>

00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:02.779
he<00:17:02.320><c> saw</c><00:17:02.539><c> all.</c>

00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:06.339
And<00:17:03.539><c> the</c><00:17:03.639><c> man</c><00:17:03.840><c> beginning</c><00:17:04.140><c> to</c><00:17:04.539><c> see</c><00:17:04.799><c> would</c><00:17:05.220><c> receive</c><00:17:05.680><c> faith</c><00:17:06.059><c> and</c>

00:17:06.339 --> 00:17:08.079
encouragement<00:17:06.799><c> that</c><00:17:07.240><c> the</c><00:17:07.640><c> Lord</c><00:17:07.779><c> could</c>

00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.980
ultimately<00:17:08.559><c> finish</c><00:17:08.940><c> the</c><00:17:09.180><c> cure.</c>

00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.140
And<00:17:11.259><c> so</c><00:17:11.440><c> finally</c><00:17:11.660><c> he</c><00:17:11.900><c> did.</c>

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:17.019
Until<00:17:13.839><c> he</c><00:17:14.059><c> saw</c><00:17:14.380><c> every</c><00:17:14.839><c> man</c><00:17:15.819><c> clearly.</c>

00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.700
But<00:17:17.880><c> there</c><00:17:18.059><c> is</c><00:17:18.279><c> another</c><00:17:18.519><c> very</c><00:17:18.799><c> important</c><00:17:19.140><c> reason,</c><00:17:19.700><c> brothers</c>

00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:21.039
and<00:17:19.880><c> sisters,</c><00:17:20.119><c> why</c><00:17:20.380><c> the</c><00:17:20.579><c> Lord</c><00:17:20.680><c> did</c><00:17:20.819><c> that</c>

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.779
miracle<00:17:21.339><c> in</c><00:17:21.519><c> two</c><00:17:21.720><c> stages.</c>

00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:26.539
Because<00:17:23.960><c> it</c><00:17:24.160><c> fits</c><00:17:24.279><c> into</c><00:17:24.460><c> the</c><00:17:24.660><c> context</c><00:17:25.000><c> of</c><00:17:25.180><c> Mark</c><00:17:25.339><c> chapter</c><00:17:25.640><c> 8.</c>

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:29.859
In<00:17:27.380><c> Mark</c><00:17:27.579><c> chapter</c><00:17:27.799><c> 8,</c><00:17:28.119><c> the</c><00:17:28.259><c> disciples</c><00:17:28.819><c> and</c><00:17:29.140><c> the</c><00:17:29.319><c> Lord</c><00:17:29.539><c> were</c><00:17:29.680><c> in</c>

00:17:34.339 --> 00:17:36.740
And<00:17:34.500><c> the</c><00:17:34.640><c> Lord</c><00:17:34.779><c> says</c><00:17:34.980><c> in</c><00:17:35.119><c> verse</c><00:17:35.339><c> 15</c><00:17:35.759><c> of</c><00:17:35.900><c> Mark</c><00:17:36.099><c> chapter</c><00:17:36.380><c> 8,</c><00:17:36.619><c> and</c>

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:38.680
he<00:17:36.960><c> charged</c><00:17:37.259><c> them,</c><00:17:37.700><c> saying,</c><00:17:38.019><c> take</c><00:17:38.220><c> heed,</c>

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:43.539
Beware<00:17:39.539><c> of</c><00:17:39.740><c> the</c><00:17:39.980><c> leaven</c><00:17:40.180><c> of</c><00:17:40.359><c> the</c><00:17:40.539><c> Pharisees,</c><00:17:41.740><c> and</c><00:17:41.859><c> of</c><00:17:41.980><c> the</c><00:17:42.099><c> leaven</c><00:17:42.279><c> of</c><00:17:42.559><c> Herod.</c>

00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.359
When<00:17:44.019><c> the</c><00:17:44.180><c> Lord</c><00:17:44.779><c> warned</c><00:17:45.359><c> of</c><00:17:46.099><c> the</c><00:17:46.519><c> leaven</c><00:17:46.700><c> of</c><00:17:46.880><c> the</c><00:17:47.000><c> Pharisees,</c>

00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:50.160
he<00:17:47.559><c> chose</c><00:17:47.839><c> two</c><00:17:48.380><c> very</c><00:17:48.819><c> unique</c><00:17:49.180><c> words.</c>

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:54.900
You<00:17:50.539><c> see,</c><00:17:50.720><c> the</c><00:17:50.799><c> word</c><00:17:51.240><c> take</c><00:17:51.839><c> heed</c><00:17:52.200><c> means</c><00:17:52.619><c> to</c><00:17:53.119><c> stare</c><00:17:53.700><c> clearly.</c>

And<00:17:55.920><c> the</c><00:17:56.059><c> word</c><00:17:56.240><c> beware</c><00:17:56.700><c> there</c><00:17:56.920><c> means</c><00:17:57.299><c> to</c><00:17:57.799><c> see.</c>

00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:00.880
So<00:17:59.660><c> he's</c><00:17:59.799><c> on</c><00:17:59.900><c> a</c><00:18:00.039><c> boat.</c>

The<00:18:06.380><c> leaven</c><00:18:06.720><c> of</c><00:18:07.079><c> the</c><00:18:07.279><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.940
And<00:18:09.279><c> he</c><00:18:09.319><c> explained</c><00:18:09.680><c> the</c><00:18:10.000><c> lesson</c><00:18:10.400><c> of</c><00:18:10.579><c> the</c><00:18:10.720><c> bread,</c><00:18:10.819><c> and</c><00:18:10.880><c> they</c><00:18:11.079><c> didn't</c><00:18:11.319><c> understand,</c><00:18:11.720><c> and</c><00:18:11.839><c> he</c>

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:21.259
And<00:18:18.099><c> then</c><00:18:18.240><c> as</c><00:18:18.400><c> the</c><00:18:18.559><c> boat</c><00:18:18.920><c> comes</c><00:18:19.319><c> ashore</c><00:18:19.740><c> to</c><00:18:19.920><c> Bethsaida,</c><00:18:20.579><c> a</c><00:18:20.740><c> blind</c><00:18:21.000><c> man</c>

00:18:22.539 --> 00:18:26.579
And<00:18:22.819><c> he</c><00:18:23.079><c> deliberately</c><00:18:23.579><c> heals</c><00:18:23.920><c> that</c><00:18:24.200><c> man</c><00:18:24.359><c> in</c><00:18:24.539><c> two</c><00:18:24.779><c> stages,</c><00:18:26.019><c> until</c><00:18:26.240><c> he</c>

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:33.019
You<00:18:30.619><c> see</c><00:18:30.740><c> the</c><00:18:30.859><c> purpose</c><00:18:31.140><c> of</c><00:18:31.299><c> that</c><00:18:31.460><c> miracle,</c><00:18:31.700><c> brothers</c><00:18:31.940><c> and</c><00:18:32.160><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.279
The<00:18:33.779><c> man</c><00:18:34.079><c> represented</c><00:18:34.740><c> the</c><00:18:34.980><c> disciples.</c>

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.680
Their<00:18:37.900><c> thinking</c><00:18:38.059><c> was</c><00:18:38.380><c> blurred.</c>

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:40.319
It<00:18:38.799><c> was</c><00:18:38.960><c> out</c><00:18:39.140><c> of</c><00:18:39.299><c> focus.</c>

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:43.740
They<00:18:41.400><c> needed</c><00:18:41.619><c> further</c><00:18:41.920><c> exposure</c><00:18:42.500><c> to</c><00:18:42.720><c> the</c><00:18:42.980><c> hand</c><00:18:43.180><c> of</c><00:18:43.380><c> God,</c><00:18:43.599><c> to</c>

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.180
And<00:18:47.660><c> so</c><00:18:47.819><c> ultimately,</c><00:18:48.200><c> they</c><00:18:48.380><c> would</c><00:18:48.500><c> be</c><00:18:48.660><c> able</c><00:18:48.799><c> to</c><00:18:49.180><c> see</c><00:18:49.940><c> clearly.</c>
