v.46…Imagine that you are Bartimaeus. What are your thoughts as you read that he was blind,sitting,begging, by the road side , shouting out.( He may have had a companion who was also begging…see Matt.ch.20,v.30.)
v47… Was the one title …Son of David. sufficient to raise Jesus’ attention ?
Is it important to know many truths about God or who Jesus is ?
48… Should someone in need persistently call on God ?- Luke,ch.11,v5ff; ch.18v.1-8.
v.49…”Jesus stopped..” Does God have time to attend to anyone who calls on Him while in need or distress ?
v.50… Have we heard the voice of Jesus calling to us, say through a message heard in church, through an experience or by a word read in the Bible ? What was the message we heard, and did we act on it ?
v.51…Why did Jesus ask this question, when the need was obvious to Him ?
v52… Have we experienced an answer to a call upon God ? What did Bartimaeus do to show that his faith was real ? Should anyone in real need call upon God first, rather than turn first to a friend, church contact or a counsellor ? Will God often use such a human contact to meet our needs ?
