Mark 10:46-52
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the 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.
Bartimaeus, the blind beggar did not sit idle when he heard Jesus is passing by. Though he was helpless and he could not expect many great things happening to him, he was determined to give it a try. So he cried out to the one who could help him. Bible says, he cried loudly to get the attention of Jesus on him. Those people around him were not helping him. They were actually discouraging him. Even then Bartimaeus decided to cry out loudly to Jesus, till he gets his help.
Who stops us from crying out to Jesus today? Nobody, except our own sin and lack of faith which resulted out as a consequence of our sin. Lets cry out to Jesus, bros, and sisters. Let us cry out to him loudly for the changes we want to see happening in the church, in other disciples as well as in our life. Let us cry out with faith and a deep desire. For our God is a good God, He wants good things to happen to us, just as we wish it could happen, even more.
Let us believe miracles will take place in our life. Let us believe that God will use us even more, than He used us thus far.
