We live in a very needy world today. The greatest need that mankind has today is the forgivness of sins and the need of salvation. Many turn to the world today to try and find an answer for their needy souls but nothing satisfies. Jesus said, “without me ye can do nothing”. In this Gospel you will hear of a blind man called Bartimaeus who called out to Jesus to meet his need. Jesus was the answer for blind Bartimaeus. Jesus is the answer for you. God sent His son, Jesus Christ to meet the sinner’s need.
Bible Scripture: Darby Translation
Mark 10:46-52 “46 And they come to Jericho, and as he was going out from Jericho, and his disciples and a large crowd, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, the blind [man], sat by the wayside begging.
47 And having heard that it was Jesus the Nazaraean, he began to cry out and to say, O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me.48 And many rebuked him, that he might be silent; but he cried so much the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.49 And Jesus, standing still, desired him to be called. And they call the blind [man], saying to him, Be of good courage, rise up, he calls thee.50 And, throwing away his garment, he started up and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answering says to him, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And the blind [man] said to him, Rabboni, that I may see.52 And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith has healed thee. And he saw immediately, and followed him in the way.”
