—Mark 10:46-52
by: Jasmine Lynch.
Bartimaeus was blind and could not see Jesus, but his hearing was good, and he heard that Jesus was passing by him. Some of us can see but our hearing is also bad. We do not hear the Word of God and cannot tell when Jesus is passing our way. Bartimaeus must have heard others talking about Jesus and about the many miracles He had performed. He would not be quieted by the crowd or prevented from receiving an audience with Jesus. Bartimaeus had faith and he knew what he wanted Jesus to do for him (v.51). What do you want Jesus to do for you?
