Mark 10:46-52:

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

⁴⁶ Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. ⁴⁷ When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
⁴⁸ Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
⁴⁹ Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” ⁵⁰ Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
⁵¹ “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
⁵² “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

*faith of blind man who was crying his heart out
*Jesus said beautiful words that would restore our soul
*he said or gave implication that he was the messiah
*chapter 10 was the last time he did his miracle before going to Jerusalem
*we should find our place in the story
*there might be a moment we want to show compassion which would.bless each others life
*or we might be in the life of a blind man who have eyes physically.but are blind because they are not at peace
*blessing of sight crowds them and leads them astray
*mark 10:51-52: "what do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
*contentment if we trust him
*God's timing is what matters
*get rid of the distraction then we will have peace
*the cry of the human heart,ask the right question but don't want the right answer
*our prayer is caught in a web of i want
*we can sometimes not be contented
*we want because we look at others
Understands that language of woundedness only
*only we alone can make that genuine cry spending some time with God
*that is what will finally answer our question
*we must see what we want
*thats the way we can celebrate our salvation
*distraction cannot separate us from the love of God (romans 8)
*makes it easier for us to be at peace
*show give and receive love
*all of us phase all works of life but showing love gives us meaning in life to see the Lord's beautiful face
