Blind Bartimaeus Received Sight

"Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Mark 10:52.

                           When blind Bartimaeus heard Jesus passing by, he cried out to Jesus calling him son of David. He asked God fo have mercy on him. "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" – Mark 10:47. Though many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, he persistently cried out and shouted to God to have mercy on him.

                           Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you - Mathew 7:7. Jesus stopped and told to call him. Bartimaeus throws aside his outer garment and came to Jesus. He believed that Jesus who is the God of miracles could heal him

                          Jesus asked him what he wants Him to do. He said that he wants to see. Jesus said that his faith had healed him. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed - John 20:29. Immediately he received his sight.

                             

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Have mercy on us. Help us to live by faith and not by sight. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
