Men as trees walking

Q: What does the Bible say about spiritual blindness?

The Bible describes spiritual blindness as a condition where individuals cannot see or understand the truth of God, often resulting from the influence of the God of this world. Spiritual blindness is a significant theme in Scripture that depicts the inability of some to perceive the truth of God due to their sinful nature and the influence of the God of this world. For instance, 2 Corinthians 4:4 states, 'In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.' This blindness can manifest in various degrees, as seen in the case of the blind man who initially saw men as trees walking. This signifies a partial understanding of spiritual realities, illustrating how individuals may grasp some truths yet fail to see clearly who Jesus is and what He has accomplished.

Q: How do we know faith in Jesus is essential for healing?

Faith in Jesus is essential for spiritual healing, as seen in the Gospels where healing often corresponds with the individual's faith. In the Gospels, multiple instances emphasize that healing is frequently linked to the individual's faith. For example, when Jesus healed the blind men, He asked them if they believed He could heal them, stating, 'According to your faith, be it unto you' (Matthew 9:29). This principle suggests that faith acts as a conduit through which God's healing grace operates. The blind man in Mark 8, who initially saw men like trees, also exemplifies that faith, whether strong or weak, influences the degree of healing one experiences. Therefore, the spiritual healing and restoration of sight encompasses both physical acts and the faith that accompanies them.

Q: Why is spiritual growth important for Christians?

Spiritual growth is vital for Christians as it leads to a deeper understanding of God and equips them to live according to His will. Spiritual growth is essential in the Christian faith, reflecting the believer's progression from spiritual infancy to maturity. As stated in 2 Peter 3:18, we are called to 'grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.' This growth not only deepens our understanding of God's truth but also equips us to face life's challenges and serve effectively in His kingdom. We are not meant to remain as infants in faith, but rather to develop a robust relationship with Christ, gaining clarity on His character and His will for our lives. Like the blind man who ultimately saw clearly, Christians are encouraged to seek understanding, grasp His teachings, and operate from a place of spiritual insight.

Q: What does it mean to look up to Jesus?

Looking up to Jesus signifies seeking His guidance and clarity amid life's challenges, emphasizing faith and reliance on Him. Looking up to Jesus involves acknowledging His sovereignty and seeking His presence during difficult circumstances. When the blind man was touched by Jesus a second time, He instructed him to look up, demonstrating that spiritual clarity often requires a conscious decision to focus on Christ rather than our problems. This act symbolizes faith, trust, and surrender, reminding believers that in moments of confusion or struggle, they must direct their gaze and hopes toward Jesus, who is sovereign over all. It parallels the encouragement in Psalms, where believers are urged to look unto the hills, knowing their help comes from the Lord. In doing so, they find their spiritual sight restored and clarity amid uncertainty.

Seeking once again the help of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit this evening, I'd like you to turn with me to the chapter that we looked at this morning in the Gospel according to Mark, chapter 8, and the text you'll find in verse 24. And he looked up and said, I see men as trees walking an unusual text or an unusual statement made by this man that the Lord was working on.

As this man was brought to the Lord Jesus Christ, he was blind. His friends brought him to the Lord Jesus and they asked the Lord Jesus to touch him. And the Lord Jesus takes him by the hand and leads him out of the town. And when he had spat on his eyes, he put forth his, put his hands upon him and asked him if he saw or if he saw anything. And so our text is the response of the man to this question by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Do you see anything? And so he's drawing out from this man what he's able to see. Jesus has done something. He's spat on his eyes and he's asked him, what has happened? Has anything happened? And he says, I see men as trees walking. He sees movement. His eyes are not fully healed. He's seeing, as it were, through the mist, through glazed eyes, and he can see movement. He can see something that looks like trees and he sees trees that are moving and so he can only comprehend or realize that trees don't move so it must be men that look like trees that are walking.

As I said this morning, the Lord Jesus never did anything that was haphazard. It always had a specific purpose and a specific reason for doing so. And as he is teaching, constantly teaching his disciples for these three years, as they sit at his feet and they are learning from him, they are watching everything that he is doing.

And as we saw this morning, he healed the 5,000 and he questions them, how many baskets? They said 12. We then moved on and we saw that there was the gentile lady who came and exposed the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. and demonstrated to the apostles what true worship was, what true religion really was, someone who saw Jesus Christ for who he was, somebody who saw herself for who she was before a holy God, and realised that she did not deserve anything but felt constrained to ask for a crumb. Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table. And it was her who coined that prayer that rings, I should imagine, every single day in heaven of, Lord, help me. And we see there in that lady the Lord Jesus Christ teaching again his disciples, this is what I require, a true heart work.

Then we move on and the Lord Jesus again teaching the Gentiles out in the wilderness. the desert, a barrenness. Then we find that they're following Jesus for three days. He has a compassion upon them. He wants to feed them. He asks, what do we have? We only have seven loaves, not a coincidence. Seven loaves because seven is perfect, the number of God. Seven loaves because we're dealing with the Gentiles, the number of seven associated with the Gentiles. The food is given. They are filled. They are satisfied by the meal. There is complete satisfaction in Christ Jesus. He is sufficient for Jew and Gentile. He's able to give an abundant sacrifice. And we see then that there was that gathering in of the seven baskets, the great baskets. that were filled. Jesus makes that emphasis that they were filled, their baskets filled of fragments.

They said seven. And so now he says to them, remember he said to them this morning, how is it that you don't understand? You've seen all these things. I've been teaching you there is this spiritual theme that is running through these miracles and now there's another. There's another spiritual theme.

He's going to demonstrate to them what they look like. He is going to demonstrate to them their unclear vision of who he is. And he demonstrates it by dealing with this blind man. It's like a visible parable for them to see about themselves. They are able to see through the mist. they're unable to comprehend fully all that the Lord Jesus Christ is doing and who he is and so he brings about this parable to show them that they are not fully aware or not spiritually fully spiritually awakened to the to the fact of who Jesus is and so they he demonstrates it by this blind man as they're looking on he says I see men as trees walking this is the only partial healing that we read of All of the others that come to Jesus, they are immediately healed, or they have to go and do something, like the other man, go and wash in the pool of Siloam. They are immediately healed. But this is the only one where we read that there's not the immediate full healing. but it comes specifically after that rebuke that the Lord Jesus Christ gave. Now, as I've said, it is orchestrated, it is designed by the Lord Jesus Christ for a specific reason. Remember that he says to them, Why reason ye, because you have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand. Have ye your hearts yet hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? And having ears, hear ye not? And do you not remember? And so here he is showing them, this is what you are like. You have eyes, but you don't see, or you don't see clearly.

You're able to comprehend the physical miracle, but you're not able to understand the spiritual theme by which I am teaching.

But also, it may be due to the man's lack of faith. The Bible tells us in many instances of the miracles of the Lord Jesus, be it according to thy faith. You see, this man is brought to the Lord Jesus Christ. He's brought by somebody else. He didn't come himself. He didn't cry out like a blind Bartimaeus in the Gospel according to Matthew from verse 27. We see there there was two blind men and as they heard Jesus passing by they cried out, Thou son of David have mercy on us. Verse 28, And when he was come into the house, the blind men came in.

And Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this. And they said, Yea, Lord. and touching their eyes, he's saying, according to your faith, be it unto you. You see, these blind men, whether it was blind Bartimaeus, I'm not sure, but these two blind men who came to Jesus, we don't read that they were led there by any others.

They had heard about the Lord Jesus Christ. Even in their blindness, they were able to find a way. When he had gone into the house, they came to him. They made a way by which they could get to the Lord Jesus Christ. And Jesus says to them, do you believe that I'm able to do it, do this? And they said, yes, they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. And so Jesus says to them, according to your faith, be unto you.

You see, if their faith was just half-hearted, then maybe they would have ended up like this man. They're able just to see men as trees walking. They were dimly sighted. They're not fully restored, but according to their faith. And we know in the scriptures that the scriptures teach us that there are degrees of faith.

Jesus speaks to his apostles, you of little faith. When Simon Peter is sinking in the water, he says, O thou of little faith, why did you doubt? He is rebuking him. He doesn't say, you know, you've got great faith, you've done really well for taking a few steps. He says, why did you doubt me, that you've got little faith? Why didn't you trust me for who I am?

But there was the man whose son was healed. And Jesus says, he's never seen such great faith. Just say the word only, and my son will be healed. These Gentiles fully trusted the ability of the Lord Jesus Christ. And so here, according to your faith, be it unto you.

In our own lives, is it why we undergo maybe so much more difficulty? Because we don't fully trust the Lord Jesus. We don't really elevate him to his high position. We hold doubt that he's not able to do this. He can deal with this thing in my life, but he can't deal with this thing. This is impossible for him. I've got to sort out this one. And so according to our faith, we struggle because of according to our faith. We wade through troubles according to our faith. according to our faith be it unto you. This man, he is brought by others to the Lord Jesus. They ask him, can you touch him? They besought him, can you touch him?

And Jesus took the blind man away. Jesus led him out of the city. I'm speaking to Emily a few weeks ago, and when we were speaking about the mute, the man who had the impediment in his speech, and the Lord Jesus takes him away from the crowd. And it's said that the Lord Jesus was very aware. He was blind aware. He was deaf aware. And the extra noise and the difficulty of the crowd for people with disabilities to know what is going on.

So he takes them aside. He deals with them as individuals. He understands their own particular case, their own particular disability. And so he leads him out of the town into a quiet place, not to make a public show or a public example for some quietness.

In chapter 7, It's very similar in chapter 7 from verse 32. And they bring unto him one that was deaf and had an impediment in his speech and they besought him to put his hand upon him. So the same. Remember, they besought him and to put his hand upon him.

But Jesus doesn't do what they say. Jesus does things in his own way. He cannot be fixed into a box and say, you know, Jesus, you must do it the way that we want you to do it. We want to see you laying your hand upon a man. We want to see some demonstration of your power. Say the word and it will be done. The Lord Jesus, remember that he's the sovereign God. He doesn't beckon to the voice of man.

He does all according to his own will and to his own purposes. And so here again, they besought him, lay your hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude. Again, you see, being aware of his deafness, being aware of the difficulties that would occur in a crowd, he takes him aside. He demonstrates visually as to what he is going to do. And he does something which they would understand.

Remember that I told you that they believed that spittle had that healing property. And so he uses his spit and he touches the man's tongue and puts his fingers into his ears. And looking up into heaven, sighed and said, epatha, that is, be opened. And straightway, his ears were opened and the string of his tongue loose. And he spoke plain. And so he dealt with this man in a very similar way.

He takes him aside. Isn't that what he does with all of us? And we want to commune with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is often away from the crowd. one-to-one with the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, we can pray. Yes, we can meditate in public places, yet there is those times when he brings us away from the crowd. Isn't that what he does when he saves us by his grace? He takes us out of the worldliness of this world. He takes us out of the kingdom of darkness, from the clutches of Satan, and he reveals himself unto us. He takes him aside. Again, he uses his spit. He spits on his hand and he puts his hands upon him and asks him if he sees anything.

What do you see? If you remember this morning, the Lord Jesus Christ asked that question to the disciples. How is it that you don't understand? And as we look at our own lives, there are those things in our lives that we don't understand. Sometimes we walk in the darkness and there is no light. And yet we have to walk by faith. There are those things that are difficult for us to comprehend. We've just sung actually. from number 30, not everyone in like degree the Spirit of God receives. The Christian often cannot see his faith and yet believes.

And so there are those times when we don't understand and we have to ask the question, why is it that the Lord is leading me in such a way? What is he teaching? And yet we understand that we have this great high priest at the right hand of God who understands our weakness and our frame. And we can come to him with those things that we don't understand. But often we have to keep going. We have to keep going, walking in the darkness. And the Lord is sovereign in the revelation of his dealings with us.

And so he asks them, how is it that you don't understand? Seemingly so obvious. Here he comes to this man, and he asks him, what do you see? Do you see anything? The disciples, what is it or how is it that you don't understand? Now he's asking this man, what do you see? And the answer he gives is revealing the heart of his disciples.

They are unable to see clearly the dealings of the Lord Jesus Christ. They are walking in a mist. They are walking under a cloud. They are not able to perceive all that the Lord Jesus Christ is doing. And therefore, they are spiritually half-sighted, we could say.

And we see that with Peter. Peter, he testifies of the Lord Jesus Christ, who the Lord Jesus Christ is. But who do men say that I, the son of man, am? And they answered, some say Elias, John the Baptist. He says unto them, but whom say ye that I am? Now again, he's asking them a question. How is it that you don't understand? What is it that you see? Who do you say that I am? The ultimate question, who do you say that the Lord Jesus Christ is? Peter says, thou art the Christ. He testifies, that's his testimony, that you're the Christ, the son of the living God.

And then he begins now to teach them, to tell them that these things are going to happen to me. The son of man must suffer many things and be rejected of the elders and the chief priests and scribes and be killed and after three days rise again. And he spoke that saying openly and Peter took him and began to rebuke him. But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, get thee behind me, Satan, for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

Now we see, I see men as trees walking. He's able to testify of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God that should come into the world to die for sinners, the Christ, the Messiah. And yet, in the same breath or the same sentence, he's rebuking the Lord Jesus Christ because Jesus says, I'm going to be crucified. I'm going to be arrested and handed over to the elders and to be killed, but then rise again in three days.

And Jesus says to him, you're savouring the things that be of men. and not the things of God. You see how it's all fitting together. You see how Jesus is placing all these physical things to expose the weakness of his disciples. They're seeing men as trees walking. They're seeing things unclear. They're putting things in the wrong way, the wrong perspective. They're not looking to God. They're not looking to the Lord Jesus Christ. They're not spiritually feeding upon him.

They've got it all back to front. but also I think it shows us of the demonstration of an awakened sinner. This man, the Bible tells us, by our nature, we are spiritually blind. The God of this world has darkened the minds, has blinded the minds. And so this man is brought, he is led to the Lord Jesus Christ in a blind condition.

There are many ways, aren't there, to come to the Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes people, they are led to the Lord Jesus by the actions and the prayers of those round about them. Sometimes the Lord Jesus goes to people as individuals, as we see in the Gospels. Sometimes people seek out the Lord Jesus by themselves. Yes, we know that deep down in the spiritual realm, each one is being drawn and each one is being awakened to see their need of the Lord Jesus Christ. But there are many ways to come to the Lord Jesus Christ.

But what is important is that they come. What is important is that they come to the Lord Jesus Christ and for the friends of this man what they wanted was him to come to Jesus. Isn't that our desire? If we have friends who are still blinded by sin, we have loved ones who are far out in the world, who are spiritually lost, isn't that our desire? That they would come to the Lord Jesus Christ, that they would have their spiritual sight restored, that they would see him as he is. There are not many people who come to the Lord Jesus Christ and have the experience that the Apostle Paul had.

The Apostle Paul was awakened almost immediately. As the light shined from heaven, he's physically blinded, but he spiritually sees. The way the Lord deals with many is a gradual process. Just like this man here, he's led to the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus speaks to him and touches him and he is slowly awakened to the fact of who the Lord Jesus Christ is. He doesn't see things very clearly to start with. Jesus begins to dispel the darkness, to illuminate the darkened mind.

2nd Corinthians Chapter four, it says, oh yeah, what I've just quoted, but if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, in whom the God of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. And so here we see with this man, it's like a demonstration of saving grace, the new birth, that the blindness is slowly being withdrawn and the light of the glorious gospel is penetrating into his hard heart and he's able to see the Lord Jesus Christ. if any of you have ever witnessed the birth of a baby and you will notice that not long after they are born and they try and open their eyes they immediately close them again.

It is too bright. It's too light for them. They've been used to the darkness of the womb. And so when they come out with the bright lights, they open them for a little while and then they close them again because of the brightness. And so it is when a sinner is saved. They're unable to fully open their spiritual eyes. They're still babes in the Lord Jesus Christ. They're still unable to comprehend the brightness of the glorious gospel, the things that have taken place in their lives. They're unable to fully grasp.

When I was saved, I knew nothing, really. All I knew that, like the man in the Gospels that says, I was once blind, but now I see. That's all that I knew. I knew that my life had been changed. I knew that I now had a love for the word. I wanted to pray and I loved the Lord Jesus Christ, but I didn't know anything of justification by faith or sanctification. I didn't know anything of the electing of God's love, only that I had been dealt with. just a baby, just able to listen to a few things.

I think when you go to school, when you start off in nursery school, they don't give you a professor. They don't come and ram down your throat algebra, because it would blow your mind. You wouldn't be able to grasp it. And so they begin with the simple things, A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, and the simple things of learning.

And so it is with the Lord Jesus Christ. He leads us here a little and there a little. He tenderly takes care of the green shoot that is coming out of the ground. He protects it. We don't see things as we ought to see them straight away. We think of Lydia.

When Lydia was saved in the Bible, the scripture tells us that the Lord opened her heart in Acts chapter 16. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us, whose heart the Lord opened, and she attended unto the things which were spoken of by Paul. And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful unto the Lord, come into my house and abide there. And she constrained us.

You see, it wasn't something dramatic. It was an opening of the heart, a door that is opened slowly, a window that is opened slowly, curtains that are opened slowly, the light beginning to shine through. And as the curtains are widened, so the greater the light. And so it is with this Lydia. At first, there is a little understanding. But then the Lord opens their hearts, slowly drawn to the light.

And he looked up and said, I see men as trees walking. Is that where you are this evening? You are, as it were, in the mist. You can't fully see all that is taking place. You can see some of the Lord's dealings. You can see some of the things that the Lord is doing and teaching you, but there's a cloud.

As I was thinking, you remember when Peter got out of the boat and he walked upon the sea, and the Bible says he saw the winds and the waves, boisterous. Sometimes if you've been by the sea and it's very, very rough and the wind is howling, you can't see properly, can you? The wind is lashing against your face and your eyes. The salt is getting into your eyes and you can't see properly. And maybe that's like you this evening. The storm seems to be so bad. that the rain and the wind is lashing against your face and you're unable to see the purposes of God in the pathway.

But then tell Jesus. Jesus asked him, do you see anything? How is it that you don't understand? Then come to the throne of grace and tell the Lord Jesus Christ everything about it. Tell him that you don't understand. Tell him that you can't see. Tell him that the way is too difficult, that you're unable to comprehend all that he is doing for you.

If he looked upon the multitude with compassion, Jew and Gentile, if he looked upon the Gentile woman with compassion and spoke to her and heard her prayer, surely he's going to hear yours. Surely he's going to incline his ear unto you and help you because he comes to this man and he touches him again. He touches him again. And then he saw clearly.

See if he didn't answer Jesus. if he just was content with a half-hearted miracle, a halfway miracle. If he just said, yeah, this is okay, I'm content, it's better than it was. No, he told the Lord Jesus Christ the truth. He told him everything. I see men as trees walking. Jesus, of course Jesus knew. but he wanted to hear it from the man's mouth. He wanted the man to tell exactly what he was experiencing. And so Jesus put forth his hands upon his eyes and made him what? Made him look up. He had to look up. It was said before, when you are down, then look up. Very easy, isn't it? To look at our feet when everything is going wrong. To look at our... just to have our head hang low. But the Bible tells us we're to look up.

Look up to the Lord Jesus Christ. see him at the right hand of the Father. Look at Stephen, when Stephen's been stoned to death, he could have looked at all the stones, he could have looked at the floor, but what did he do? He looked up and he said, I see Jesus Christ at the right hand of the Father.

That's where you need to look this evening. You need to look up to the Lord Jesus Christ. I need to ask him to touch you again. Make the way clear. Give me clarity of the way, just like the man, he was restored and he saw everything clearly. And this is all part of the Lord's dealings with his people. It is the spiritual growth of the saints.

We're not meant to stay as babies. We are not meant to stay as green shoots. We're not meant to stay as milk. As the apostle says, I fed you with milk because you're not able to bear anything deeper, the strong milk of the word. Born again, it shows us something of a delivery, of immaturity.

But then there is a spiritual growth. Peter tells us, doesn't he, but growing grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's a desire of the Lord, growing grace, that spiritual growth is to be seen, it's to be evident. Yes, when we're born again, we may see men as trees walking, but that goes. we begin to see clearly the ways of God and the leadings of the Lord. 2 Peter 3, verse 18. But growing grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, to him be glory both now and ever. Amen. But growing grace, walk with the Lord. I said on Wednesday, oh for a closer walk with God, a calm, a delightful frame.

Isn't that our desire? Yes, we can't see clearly, but we desire to see clearly. Yes, we don't understand what the Lord is doing, but we desire to understand. We desire to grow in the faith, We're not content with a small faith that sinks in the storm. We desire to have the great faith or that they were to be able to stand in the midst of opposition like Stephen.

And that's all part of our spiritual walk, our sanctification, the process by which the Lord deals with us as we walk the Christian life. And it's getting to know him. getting to know the Lord Jesus Christ by being in his word, communing with him in prayer, walking with him daily in our experiences.

He put his hands upon his eyes and made him look up and he was restored and saw every man clearly. Who did he see first? Jesus. Isn't that who you want to see? the Lord Jesus. Do you not want to see him more clearly? Do you not want to get to know him experimentally? John says that we might know Thee, the only true God and thy son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

We expect children, babies to grow. We expect them to grow in their relationship with their parents and with their siblings and with their grandparents. And so it is with the child of God. We expect that spiritual growth and that oneness, those relationships that grow, especially with Christ Jesus.

With the apostles, although they lacked spiritual understanding and discernment, Jesus was to open up their understanding to the scriptures. The Bible tells us that we are to ask the Lord Jesus and he will give us understanding. If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God. And so he opened up their understanding to the scriptures so that they could see clearly.

These men that were unable to understand, where soon would be able to proclaim Jesus Christ and to see clearly the glories of the gospel and to suffer for his name. And so he who began that work in you, although you may feel that your faith has dwindled, although you may be confused, yet he will complete it.

The Bible tells us, or Jesus tells us in Revelation, as we saw this morning in chapter one, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. It began with Christ. and it will end with Christ. Christ is all sufficient for Jew and Gentile. Christ is all sufficient for you and for me.

Christ is able to bring clarity to your distress, to your perplexity, and he's able, if you would ask him, to open up your understanding so that you might see clearly all that he is doing. where the Lord then help us as we continue to look into the word. And there may be those confusing things in our lives, but to look to the Lord Jesus Christ, even if we don't understand. He is all-knowing. He understands. He knows what he is doing in our individual lives. And he looked up and said, I see men as trees walking. Amen.

Let's sing our final hymn from Hymns for Worship, number 184. 184. When this passing world is done, when has sunk yon radiant sun, when I stand with Christ on high, looking all life's history, then Lord, shall I fully know, not till then, how much I owe. Hymns for Worship, 184, tune 507.

But when fear is at the height, Jesus comes and all is light. Blessed Jesus, that I know, Something of that debt I owe. When I stand before the throne, dressed in beauty not my own, when I see thee as thou art, ♪ Hardly with a sinning heart ♪ ♪ Then, O child, I fully know ♪ ♪ Not till then have much I know ♪ ♪ In the praise of heaven ♪ Loud as thunders to him hear, Loud as many waters' noise, Sweet as love's melodious voice, Then, Lord, shall I finally know And now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God the Father, with the fellowship and communion of the Holy Spirit, to be with you each now and for evermore. Amen.
