Becoming fully human
He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. [Mark 8:23-25 (TNIV)]
Last summer, my friend Nick and I were sitting having a lunchtime coffee in a pub beer garden. We were chatting away when in drove a Ferrari. At least that’s what I thought when I first saw the car, on second glance I noticed it was a modified standard salon, “Boy racer,” I thought. The driver over revved the car as he made several attempts to park the car, and everyone present glanced over at the spectacle. After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing the car finally made it in to the space but over revved a little and… “Crack!” The front spoiler hit the curb. I had a little chuckle to myself.
