Jesus always knew that we would be more interested in His healing of the man born blind; feeding 5,000 with just a couple of pieces of bread and a few fish, or turning water into wine; than we would to seek His ultimate purpose:  seeing that we wind our way through this life into heaven.

"Yes, our natural lives will fade as grass does when it becomes all brown and dry. All our greatness is like a flower that droops and falls; but the Word of the Lord will last forever. And His message is the Good News that was preached to you."

~ I Peter 1: 24 & 25 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Peter (writer) is reminding believers that everything in this life---possessions, accomplishments, people---- will eventually fade away and disappear. Only God's will, Word, and work are permanent. We must stop grasping the temporary and focus our time, money, and energy on the permanent-----the Word of God and our new, eternal life in Christ."
