Big Question: What can’t you see in your future? Side Question: What will you NEVER become based on what you see now?
Blindness can be more than a physical problem.
Remembrance Sunday 10 Nov.'24
Rev. Olivia Patterson preaches on the Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Scripture passage is Mark 10:46-52
The Blind Beggar Bartimaeus puts a bow on several themes that have been developing through the central section of Mark’s Gospel
The healing of Bartimaeus.
True faith requires trusting in Jesus, even when we cannot see the outcome. It moves us to act on that trust by boldly approaching Jesus with our needs, knowing that He hears our cries and responds with compassion and power. This type of faith is illustrated this morning by a blind beggar by the name of Bartimaeus. His answer to Jesus’ piercing question, leads to transformation and a life dedicated to following Him.

In the story of Bartimaeus, we see a picture of the spirit and the attitude one must have to experience the gifts God has for us. As Jesus and his entourage passed through this city, people who wanted to glimpse the master lined the roadway. Bartimaeus was a blind man whose livelihood was begging by the roadside. As Bartimaeus heard the murmuring and commotion of Jesus’ passing, he asked what was happening, and someone told him it was Jesus. Bartimaeus began to call out for Jesus to have mercy on him. People around him hushed him and told him to be quiet. Instead of being offended, he cried out even more. The Bible says Jesus stopped. We are going to get Jesus’ attention when we get desperate. Brother Hughes draws several lessons we can learn from this story. First, Bartimaeus was waiting. He had positioned himself, and when the opportunity came, he took it. Secondly, Bartimaeus ignored the obstacles and hindrances and continued to call for his healing. Finally, he didn’t let what he could not do, keep him from getting what he needed.

Matthew climaxes this chapter that focuses so much on greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven with Jesus’ greatest of attributes, compassion. The interaction with two blind men (Mark 10 & Luke 18 refer to one man) is in stark contrast to the pride illustrated in the parable of the laborers of the vineyard, the self-serving request of the Sons of Zebedee, and the indignant jealousy of the Apostles. Where Jesus corrected selfish pride in the other scenes, here at the end of chapter twenty Jesus honors humility by taking the time to respond to requests of mercy. The twelve apostles witness this scene, and it must have had great impact since all three of the synoptic gospels relay this miraculous healing. They would be forever impacted by Jesus’ compassion while on his way to Jerusalem. Jesus was never too busy to be insensitive to the suffering of the humble and meek. The Apostles would learn this lesson eventually as these five verses portray one of the most beautiful examples of our LORD’s loving compassion. These five verses portray TRUE Greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven. Let’s read Matthew 20:29-34 together.

Mark 10: 46-52
May the God of Wonders Bless You!
"Three questions with which we all must wrestle ... " Mark 10:46 - 52 1) Are you “sitting beside the road?” watching Jesus? (vv. 46-48) 2) What do you want Jesus to do for you? (vv. 49-51a) 3) Are you "on the road" walking with Jesus? (vv. 51b-52)
His reign isn’t measured by how many people serve Him but by how many He serves. "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 (NLT)
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes..." Romans 1:16 (ESV)
