Mark 10:46-52; Seeing Jesus

Sermon in a sentence: Seeing Jesus changes how we see everything.

Bartimaeus’ Cry

Bartimaeus’ faith led him to call out for mercy from David’s son.

He understood Jesus was the son of David, on his way to Jerusalem.

Isaiah 35:4–5 ESV

4 Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.” 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped;

Psalm 122:1–123:4 (ESV)

1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” 2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, 4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. 5 There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! 7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” 8 For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!” 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

A Song of Ascents.

1 To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens! 2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us. 3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. 4 Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.

The crowd even tried to make him be quiet.

I have often found those that are supposedly following Jesus don’t like radicals.

Jesus’ Response

Jesus spoke to the crowd to bring Bartimaeus.

Like the young children, Jesus has Bartimaeus come to him.

There is always room at the foot of the cross for one more sinner!

Jesus asked Bartimaeus what he wanted.

Jesus asks us this question still today. And I as you, what do you want from Jesus?

Bartimaeus’ Decision

Bartimaeus chose to follow Jesus to Jerusalem with his new sight.
