Episode Synopsis

Text:  Mark 8:11-26     The Prevalent Unbelief of the Pharisees (8:11-15) The Pharisees came in their arrogance before Jesus to make their arguments to Jesus. They had no intention to listen and believe. Jesus sees their unbelief and rejects their request for a sign. The Pharisees' unbelief serves as a warning to us, proving that even a small amount of unbelief can contaminate our hearts.   The Persistent Lack of Understanding in the Disciples (8:16-21) The disciples are unaware of their spiritual blindness and are in danger of becoming hard-hearted. Jesus addresses the disciples' hearts by calling them to remember who He is and what He has done.   The Perfect Illustration of True Faith in the Blind Man (8:22-26) The blind man is brought to Jesus by his friends and healed in progressive stages. The healing of the blind man serves as an illustration of how faith is progressively developed in the heart by the Lord.
