“Jesus Stood Still”
The Lord convicted me, and has been about the thought of how I try to bring people to Jesus.
So join me in Mark 10...
- This is story of Jesus giving Bartimaeus his sight.
Teaching/focus points of this message is:
1.
We should never quiet the hurting/broken/shamed/lost and not allow them to experience Jesus.
The whole point of us coming together is for people to be saved.
2. When we see people get saved at The Well, we need to do what the people do: "and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God." (Luke 18:43)Luke 18:35-37
How can we get back to the basics?
1.
The Request for Mercy
Illustrate the actual story of Bartimaeus
Bartimaeus - sitting on the ground, completely dependent on others to meet his needs.
Blind.
He hears the footsteps of the crowd coming his way.
He hears it’s a large crowd with a lot of voices.
He hears it’s Jesus, the one from Nazareth.
I’ve heard of Him so many times and I’ve heard stories about His miracles and idc what other people say, He has got to be the One God sent!
So on a whim, He cried out, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
He cried out and requested mercy!!
What do we need to recognize?
a) Hearing was the Initiator
He’s a blind man.
He’s never seen his family members.
Physical blindness is hard.
so as he sits in the streets he begins hearing these footsteps… a bunch of them.
He hears a lot of voices and people moving in the same direction.
Listening he hears, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Jesus?? JESUS!
He’s here.
The Jesus is here?
He heard about Jesus and His person and that initiated the healing he would eventually experience.
Before he ever requested mercy, he had to hear about it first.
b.
Honesty was Important
He heard “Jesus of Nazareth.”
Notice how he addressed Jesus, though… “Son of David.”
What does that mean?
“Messiah.”
This guy was honest about 2 things:
Jesus’ Title - Son of David, it’s amazing that one son cried out to another.
His needs
You must get Jesus right.
He is sometimes approached as the Big Man Upstairs.
and sometimes envisioned more as a mild mannered accountant named Mike than who He really is.
c.
He was Insistent
As he cries out, those in the crowd come to him and hush him.
Dude, shhhhhh.
He’s got a mission to fulfill.
He’s the Messiah and (they thought) He was on His way to Jerusalem to take names and take over.
Become the king and overthrow the Romans.
When we recognize how needy we really are, nothing will stop us from crying out for mercy.
2. Interesting Response by the Master
Think about Bartimaeus for a minute.
He’s crying out for mercy… he’s honest, he heard about Jesus and he just decided, “Idc what other people think, I need mercy!”
Jesus stopped dead in His tracks.
People that walk with Jesus should be so different that they attract others, not push them away!
a) A Time of Correction
They tried to silence this man.
Why?
Maybe they thought that the mission of Jesus was too big for this man?
We can never get to the point where we think that Jesus is too busy, too big, or too good to help.
“Hayden, I would never believe that!”
Well we act like that sometimes.
Shhhh.. can’t you see that He’s busy.
Shhhh… can’t you see that He is going to Jerusalem.
Shhhh… can’t you see that He’s perfect and you aren’t.
Shhhh… can’t you see that He’s on a mission to Jerusalem?
The enemy wants nothing more than for the crowd of Jesus to believe the lie that the lost don’t matter.
Here’s how the enemy spreads that lie: “They are too broken to be saved.”
“They are too mean to you, you don’t need to share the gospel with them.”
“They won’t listen to you.”
“You don’t know enough of the Word to share with them.”
The sad thing is that we’ve all believed this lie in some way or the other...
What should I do, Hayden?
Repent of that, and choose to trust Jesus’ Gospel… that it is:
b.
A Time of Commission
I’m going to use you.
The same ones that missed it.
ønce we repent, the next thing is to respond the way Jesus did:
3. The Regeneration of the man
The man kept shouting: “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
a) He was Surrendered
He got rid of any hinderance on him.
He took off the outer garment, laid it down, and went to Jesus.
Some in this room know you need to come to Jesus, but you hold onto the things that hinder you from experiencing Grace.
Lay them down today!
b.
He was Specific
What do you need?
I need to see.
Be real with the Lord Jesus about your needs.
He wants to know
c.
He was Saved
“Your faith has made thee whole.”
His eyes were opened.
He was healed, but the language of “made whole” paired with faith, is essentially a picture of saving faith!
