Mark 10:46-52 Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage, and stand up! He is calling for you.” Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus. And answering him, Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!” And Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

Jesus said to the blind man, “Go, your faith has made you well.” Do you believe in faith healings today, or did Jesus reserve those blessings for people in His own days. Why did not Jesus heal all of the sick and dismayed? Jesus did not heal anyone who did not come to him in faith. Jesus has compassion on all of us, but only extends His healing hand to those who seek Him. Are you seeking him by faith in your trials? Come unto Jesus, because He rewards the faithful.

Daily Prayer: Jesus, unto You I commit my soul. I have come to you in dependence, now I await the life you have had in store for me, awaiting my surrender to You. In Your holy name I pray Amen
