1. Blind Bartimaeus - Mark 10.46-52
Why is everyone going to Jerusalem?
for Passover / Unleavened Bread
Why else is Jesus going?
to be the sacrifice
Bartimaeus: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
though blind, he can see the truth about Jesus
faith sufficient to ask - is all anyone ever needs
Jesus has time for the individual in spite of his greater purpose
he “rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11.6)
longs to pour out his grace - undeserved blessing
