I have no idea why Jesus chose to spit in the blind man's eye.

...Then He put his hand on him and asked if he could see. The man said he saw men as trees walking. Perhaps the disciples wondered why he hadn't been healed instantly like the others? 


Mark 8:24-25  After that he put his hands again upon his eyes and made him look up, and he was restored and saw every man clearly.


Maybe Peter remembered Christ saying, 'Having eyes they see not'. Maybe Jesus is using this as a parable, little by little, miracle by miracle, the eyes of the disciples being opened. They had seen everything Christ had been doing, and every day their vision got better. 


As we study the Bible, our vision should improve. We should be able to see how God brought us through our good and bad times.  We need a touch of God on our lives so we don't lose sight of Him. We need time alone with our Lord to see clearly what God wants us to do.
