Jesus heals a man of his blindness.  When asked if he can see, the man claims that he sees men, but that they look like trees.  What is the significance?  Why does Jesus touch him a second time?  What is the difference between the first and second?

For all intents and purposes, this man is healed the first time Jesus touches him.  His sight is restored.  He does not see like "normal sighted" people see, but still, he sees.  This is a miracle.  It is not enough for Jesus.

Jesus seems, at this point, to be very tenacious about healing - about restoring people to total health.  We see this at other times in His ministry as well.  It is not enough for Jesus to say, "Your sins are forgiven."  He restores the man to health as well.  With this blind man - we see God's ultimate goal - completion. 

He who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it.
