FAITH TO ASK

“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?
The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him,
Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight,
and followed Jesus in the way.”
‭‭(Mark‬ ‭10:45-49, 51-52‬ ‭KJV‬‬)

The ministry of Jesus is with power. "My words, they are spirit and they are life".

Bartimaeus was, perhaps, the least prominent of "a great number of people" who were following the miracles that Jesus did with signs following. Blind and a beggar, Bartimaeus found his place by the highway to ask for alms. But this was the day that the LORD had made. When Barttimaeus heard that   Jesus was passing by, he cried out with all his might, THOU SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON ME! Jesus called for him to come near. Do you see the picture? A blind beggar called from the dark side of the highway into the presence of Jesus! "What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?"
LORD, THAT I MIGHT RECEIVE MY SIGHT. "Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole."
Notice: "IMMEDIATELY HE RECEIVED HIS SIGHT, AND FOLLOWED JESUS IN THE WAY"

Jesus is the Light of the world. By faith in the Light that has shined in a dark place, blind beggars are translated into the kingdom of Light in Christ Jesus. ONCE I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE!
