“Who Knows?”

     Why was the blind man not healed completely the first time Christ touched him in Mark 8:22-26?

Sincerely,

Dear Double-Take,

Throughout the Bible, miracles were performed that involved some very unique circumstances, circumstances that leave us with unanswered questions.  Elisha stretching out multiple times upon the body of a dead child in order to bring him back to life (2 Kgs 4:34) and Jacob setting different striped rods before the flock to bring forth different colored sheep (Gen 30:37-39) are just two other examples.  God never tells us why there are such unique circumstances surrounding some miracles; some secrets belong to God (Deut 29:29).
