Evening: Psalms 8, 84; Mark 8:22-30
Jesus heals a blind man - outside of town. He doesn’t want the healing to be known. Later, walking north from Galilee to Caesarea Philippi (about 35 miles), Jesus asks his disciples if they know who he is. Peter says, “The Anointed,” which means, the One they are waiting for to come and deliver them. But Jesus says, “Tell no-one.” Already, they can see that things will not go the way they imagine. This Messiah offers a transformation of the heart, not a political coup. Changed hearts are like a blind man seeing! Lasting change comes from within.
