"Bartimaeus"
Jesus was determined to go to Jerusalem, in order to die on a cross.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Bartimaeus to meet the Lord Jesus.
Proverbs 27 vs.1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Jesus was God manifest in flesh, but He came to serve not to be served, and to lay down His life as a ransom.
Bartimaeus realised his own need, and he knew who Jesus was and he knew He could heal him, he had faith.
The god of this world has blinded many eyes, and will do all he can to stop you being saved.
Think about it, understand your position before God as a guilty helpless sinner, then repent and give your heart to Him by faith. Jesus changes lives.
He saves immediately and He is with us, but the "world" might cast us out and we may have to stand alone.
Bartimaeus followed Jesus to Jerusalem and enjoyed fellowship with Him.
Take up your cross and follow Him, it is not easy but the rewards are great and it is worth it.
Is it a reality in your life, is it evident that you follow Jesus in your speech, actions, and behaviour.
If you stand with Him people will hate you, but we have a home in heaven for Eternity.
