As we unpack the story of the blind man gaining his sight, we look at the bigger picture that unfolds for the disciples and us. It’s intriguing to see how often Jesus would respond to a need with a question. In Mark 8, we read of how Jesus healed a blind man, but was the miracle for the blind man, for the disciples or for you and me? So what does it mean to be healed anyway? As you read Mark 8, reflect on not only the story itself, but also on your own story and its greater impact. Let’s come together with anticipation of our eyes being unveiled to something new.

Being thankful...sounds easy, but how often do we find ourselves taking the good things we have been given for granted, complaining about all the bad things that have happened in our lives and joining the crowd around us in criticism? This weekend, we look at ten men who received a wonderful gift from God, after which only one man returned to show his appreciation in an exuberant display of thanksgiving and praise. The question remains, "Where are the other nine?" Take some time to look at yourself. Where are you? Are you willing to go where Jesus would take you? Are you living a life of thanksgiving and praise?

Jesus, maybe more than any other person in history, has been subject to vigorous scrutiny. Is he what he claimed to be? Is he what the gospel writers described? Is he just a religious figure-head or God in human form? Is he merely a fashion accessory or the crucified and risen Lord? Is he the Buddy Jesus or Lord of hearts who radicalizes human identity and relationships? This weekend will challenge our perception and expectations of Jesus as we reflect on the question of the Samaritan woman at the well, whose story we read in John 4:1-43, “Could this be the Christ?”
