Mark 8:22-25 And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?" And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking." Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.

Practical Aspects of Teaching: Read, Live, Reflect, Tell Christian teaching is about stories. One big divine story made up of many small human stories – and the power these stories have to change lives, the world, and beyond. So, to teach is to read, live, reflect on, and tell these stories. I hope and I pray that this story today will be useful to you as you learn that every Christian, besides being a lover, is also a teacher at heart.
