Blind Bartimaeus
Mark 10:46-
Blind Bartimeaus - son of Timeaus
When a name is mentioned in scripture it says something about the significance of what was about to happen.
The Place
specific - Jericho
Jesus was leaving and the crowd in tow
but his work wasn’t yet done, something is about to happen...
Bart
Was sitting
beside a road
What was he doing?
Begging
he was a man in need, physically and economically.
He was blind, aka blind Bartimeaus
This says how he is identified, how he is steriotyped
Not Bart who happens to be blind
So often society, the nay sayers, negative talk puts a label on us and identifies us by our obvious features.
You may be identified by the colour of your skin, your hair colour, your disability, or some other external aspect of your life, short, tall the person with a limp but not the person who you are on the inside.
Though he was blind he probably felt others around him, didn’t really see who he really was, they were blind and didn’t see him.
Overlooked, not seen.
But God doesn’t define us by our outward appearance the external He identifies our hearts, who we are on the inside.
A miracle was about to happen, Jesus saw who he really
he was a man of faith.
A man who could not see Jesus in the physical, could truly see Jesus in the spiritual.
hey He saw more than those who walking with Jesus, He perceived what the others will still yet to grasp.
Bart found what resource that was available to him, His voice.
As Jesus and the big crowd passed by, he caught Jesus attention, “Jesus, Son of David have mercy on me”
People the crowd were telling him to shut up, be quiet
Dutch-Wees stil
be silent -button up-clam up-keep one's trap shut-not let out a peep-say nothing, shut your pie hole
But their jeers made him shout even louder, he was not giving up even in the face of opposition.
Bart shouted even more, “Jesus, son of David”- which meant that he acknowledged that he was the Messiah, he had authority to heal to give him what he needed.
They could not shut him up,
Sometimes we are intimidated to be quiet not to pray or call on Jesus, whether it is fear, doubt, others, excuses, our own sufficiency.
So don’t give up on the promises of God, don’t give up hope, Jesus hears you, You are about to have your breakthrough that you are believing for.
What ever was going on it caught Jesus attention, it stopped him in his tracks.
He asked his disciples to “call him” over.
They yelled and called back-
hey you making all that racket over there, cheer up-stop your whining and get “on your feet”- get be ready Hey Jesus is “calling you”
Jesus has heard you
Application:
Jesus hears us when we call, he hears our desperate cries, our desperate hearts, even when our prayer is not answered, he still hears us, so don’t give up, Jesus hears your voice, you are heard.
Faith is evidence of what we do not see.
Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Many/disciples rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up!
On your feet!
Action …He’s heard you,
When Jesus hears us we
He’s calling you.”
Throwing his cloak aside,
The cloak represents his identity, where he sat each day and begged, it was a source of finance, where people would give to him as he begged it was his social security.
It was also the cloak that he covered himself in, it was his means of warmth and covering.
This covering meant a life of misery, ostercised, victim, unclean, outcast, someone who didn’t have a voice or eye sight.
So when he cast aside his cloak he was expectant that Jesus was about to do something amazing.
He discarded, he left behind his old life, old self, old identity,
He rose above everything that people tried to keep him in what they thought about him, he was ready to let it go.
Bart was about to step into something new and amazing.
His heart was full of faith.
QUESTION:
What do you want me to do for you?
It was obvious wasn’t it-Jesus sometimes states the obvious, but he is looking for our response what are we believing Jesus for,
He knows our needs before we even ask.
However Jesus was looking for a response of faith.
he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
Question
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, “Rabbi, Which means teacher, divine teacher, he could see with the eyes of faith, he was the promised one in scripture.
“I want to see.”
A basic response, a simple response and it was obvious.
BUT it was significant, Bart was about to receive his miracle, the cry of his heart.
“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.”
Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
GO-Faith is a doing word, faith is action
Hebrews 11:1
Hebrews
There are 229 OT references in Hebrews much of this Epistle is referenced from Psalms and Genesis…
Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for.
There is something futuristic about faith- it has substance, tangible, active, real.
what is the meaning of Faith-also faith means confidence
As God’s children of Grace faith is valuable.
To live by law and under the law faith is worthless, because faith is not in God it is in the set of rules of do’s and don’ts.
therefore the promises of faith become worthless.
Faith apart from the law:
Romans 3:28
Different types of faith:
Faithful,
keep the faith,
In the faith
