Tomorrow morning, 9/27, as the Lord allows; I will be preaching from Mark 10:46-52 on the subject, "A Blessing for Blind Bartimaeus". It is, of course, the well-known story of the healing of this blind beggar on the outskirts of Jericho on the Friday before the Triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.
It is easy to focus on the man Bartimaeus, or on the miracle itself; and, we briefly will do so. But, the passage is really about Jesus the Messiah, God in human flesh Who has the power to give sight to the blind. Of course, He can do this both physically (as in this case) as well as spiritually, as in the case of everyone who comes to faith in Him.
The GOOD NEWS is that Jesus is still alive and still present to intervene in the physical and spiritual realities of the universe! He still loves people, He still takes time for people, and He still meets the needs of people.
Let us pray together this evening that our Lord will be pleased to pour out His Spirit on us tomorrow and demonstrate His "anointing" presence among us! God bless you and yours.
I hope to see you in the morning with a smile on your face, a Bible in your hand, and your family and friends by your side!
