Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Mark chapter 8 verses 22 and 23:
22 They came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village . . .
In order to see the world rightly, we must be taken out of our little village.
So long as we are stuck having only one field of vision and one limited place of perspective we remain blind to the world and all its complexity, need, beauty, and opportunity. We cannot see beyond the walls of our own experience.
Jesus took the blind man out of his village; and it was there, beyond the constraints of the place and people that knew him only as a blind man that his eyes were open and he was made to see.
