Jesus heals a blind man, but only partially at first. Why? Shortly after, Peter confesses that Jesus is the Messiah, yet he rebukes Jesus when Jesus explains what it means to be the Messiah. In particular, Jesus lays out the necessity of his impending crucifixion. Peter thus reveals that he can see, but only partially, just like the blind man who needed further healing. Jesus also seeks to restore our vision fully, to see that the cross, to lay down one's life in love, is not the end of life but the path to a full life, now and for eternity.
