Blind Bartimaeus saw more clearly than just about anyone else around him. As he sat by the roadside begging, Bartimaeus heard from the crowd that Jesus the Nazarene was nearby. With eyes of faith, Bartimaeus saw in Jesus his only hope for mercy. He cried out repeatedly for Jesus, ignoring the majority who would silence him. The Lord stopped, stood still, and gave full attention to a person from whom most others looked away. "Go your way; your faith has made you well." Mark 10:52 (NKJV) What Bartimaeus lacked in eyesight he made up for in insight. With eyes of faith, he saw Jesus for Who He really is – the Son of David, the only Master able to heal and worthy to follow. Today, Jesus is still the One who stands still for those who sincerely cry out for Him.
