GospeL Verses ~ Mark 8:22-26

22 - Jesus and his disciples were going into Bethsaida, when some people from the village  brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 Jesus took him by the hand and led him out of the village, where he spit into the man's eyes and placed his hands on him and asked him if he could see anything. 24 The man looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking about.”

     25 So again Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes, and this time the man looked intently, his eyes were healed, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus said to him, “Go home, but not by way of the village.”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                ~ 1John 4:7-11 ~

7 - My dear friends, we must love each other, for love comes from God. And when we love each other, it shows we have been given the new life. We are now God's children. And we know him. 8 God is love, and anyone who doesn't love others doesn’t know him. 9 God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world to give us life. 10 Real love isn't our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven.  (Strong enough to appease eveRy guilty conscience.) 11 Dear friends, since God loved us this much - we, must love each other. (The sacrifice was the closest thing to getting ‘up off the throne’ himself.. But wouldn’t all creation fall apart? ..Logically, he had it all worked out before doing any act of creation. Even Jesus was tested/improved/perfected by his obedience when he struggled and prayed - “not my will, but Your’s”.)
