Jesus Heals Blind Bartimaeus

"Now they came to Jericho. As He went out
out of Jericho with His disciples and a great
multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of
Timaeus, sat by the road begging.
And when he heard that it was Jesus of
Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, 'Jesus,
Son of David, have mercy on me!'
Then many warned him to be quiet; but he
cried out all the more, 'Son of David, have
mercy on me!'
So Jesus stood still and commanded him to
be called.
Then they called the blind man, saying to
him, 'Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling
you.'
And throwing aside his garment, he arose
and came to Jesus.
So Jesus answered and said to him 'What
do you want Me to do for you?'
The blind man said to Him, 'Rabboni, that
I may receive my sight.'
Then Jesus said to him, 'Go your way;
your faith has made you well.'
And immediately he received his sight and
followed Jesus on the road."
..........Mark 10:46-52

Also see Matthew 20:29-34; Luke 18:35-43

Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus for mercy.
He was told to be quiet.
But he cried even louder.
Faith is persistant.
When Jesus called him, he threw off his
beggar's robe; by faith he knew he wouldn't
be a beggar any longer.
When Jesus asked him what he wanted.
He said he wanted his sight.
Faith is specific about the need.
Jesus told him to go his way.
He acted on his faith and received his sight.

LORD,
Thank You that when we cry out to you,
you do not quiet us.
We are persistant in our desires.
We are specific in our needs.
We act on our faith.
We receive.
Thank You, Thank You, Lord!
..........In the name of Jesus!
