Comparing the Healing of the Blind in John and Mark

We stop and compare the healing of the blind man in Mark 8 with the healing of the blind man in John 9. The Lord uses a different method and the path to healing differs as well. We need to do as Paul teaches in Philippians and "compare the things that differ." Sometimes when we do this we see how the Lord is teaching us different truths, other times the Lord is showing us differences between his plans for the ages.
