See, Speak, & See

Today, we delve into the powerful story of blind Bartimaeus, exploring how his faith and persistence led to a transformative encounter with Jesus. This narrative from Mark 10 challenges us to examine our own spiritual vision and willingness to cry out to God, even in the face of opposition. We're reminded that sometimes, our greatest breakthroughs come when we're willing to cast aside our old identities - symbolized by Bartimaeus throwing off his cloak - and step boldly into faith. The message encourages us to see beyond our current limitations, to speak our needs to God without shame, and to anticipate the miraculous. Just as Bartimaeus' physical sight was restored, we too can experience a renewal of our spiritual sight, allowing us to follow Jesus with newfound clarity and purpose.
