MISSING IN ACTION

MARK 10:46-52

Mark 10:46 NKJV

Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

Mark 10:47 NKJV

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Mark 10:48 NKJV

Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Mark 10:49 NKJV

So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.”

Mark 10:50 NKJV

And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

Mark 10:51 NKJV

So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”

Mark 10:52 NKJV

Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

We should confront our faith with facts, we should confront the facts with our faith!!!

How did this man make a leap from fact to faith?

THE FACTS:

HE WAS BLIND!

HIS NAME WAS BAR-TIMAEUS

HE WAS A BEGGAR!

HE WAS AN OUTCAST!

YOUR NOW DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR ALWAYS!!!!

WHAT ACTIVATED THIS MAN’S FAITH?
