Text: Mark 10:46-52
Throughout our study of the book of Mark, Jesus often shows that the grace of God moves in powerful ways in and among the people who have been dealt a bad hand in life. In today’s passage, Jesus heals a blind beggar named Bartimaeus and is called the “Son of David” for the first time. Just like Jesus’ disciples, who left everything to follow Him, Bartimaeus leaves his cloak on the side of the road to follow Jesus. Can we also set aside what prevents us from following Jesus and letting him be the primary focus of our hearts?
