When was the last time you cried out to Jesus with everything you had? Bartimaeus was a blind beggar—overlooked, desperate, and clinging to hope. Day after day, he sat by the road, listening to stories about a man named Jesus—stories of healing, of power, of mercy. And then one day, Jesus passed by. In that moment, Bartimaeus didn’t hold back. He cried out with everything he had: “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! Even when others tried to silence him, he refused to stay quiet. And Jesus stopped. He saw him, called him close, and healed him. But the story didn’t end there—Bartimaeus didn’t just receive his sight. He chose to follow Jesus from that day forward. Why do we seek God’s power in our lives? Is it just to feel better, fix a problem, or move on? Or is it so we can truly follow Him? Jesus is still opening blind eyes—helping us see Him as the treasure we’ve been longing for all along.
