In two separate accounts of Jesus healing the blind, we find that the way that Jesus accomplishes the miracles are different—very different. But maybe that’s because Jesus knows that different techniques apply to different people. As we consider our own spiritual journeys, we need to realize that God will speak to all of us in ways that are not identical to the ways that God speaks to other people. The important similarity in the healings also applies to us too: that Jesus can only heal us if we know we are blind. None of us likes to beg, yet Jesus can only come to us if we are humble and desperate enough to admit our need for him.
