Summary
Drawing from Mark 8:22–26's account of Jesus healing a blind man in two stages, the sermon illustrates salvation as instantaneous spiritual sight and sanctification as lifelong growth in holiness. Jesus' progressive healing demonstrates that faith begins in a moment but deepens over a lifetime, and only Christ can rescue us from sin's penalty and power.
Highlights
Jesus closed his eyes in death so that your eyes could be opened in spiritual life.
You cannot give yourself spiritual sight. The only way that you get spiritual sight is when the Lord Jesus Christ touches you and restores it.
The no's in scripture free you to the better yes.
