Slow and steady wins the race is the message of an age-old saying. Jesus heals the blind man in steps. Is this because this is what Jesus wants to do or because the faith of the one being healed can only gradually accept the miracle being performed? I believe Jesus is teaching us an important principle of His Kingdom — namely, that success is not always immediate. More often than not, we will have to journey to our goal step by step, and not leap there in one go.
