I love the beautiful and thrilling passage recorded in Mark 10:46-52. I picture myself among that great number of people going out of Jericho with Jesus. Suddenly, we hear a loud voice crying out, but we soon realize it is just that old beggar, blind Bartimaeus, sitting by the wayside begging like he always does!! Sooo disgusting!!! We want to hurry on by so Jesus doesn't have to see such a dreadful sight, but Bartimaeus begins to cry louder and louder!!!
Many are demanding that he hush, but he will not! He cries even more loudly and will not stop!!
Then -- an amazing thing happened! "JESUS STOOD STILL!" Those three little words just thrill and bless my heart! The Master cared for this poor wretched beggar. Our wonderful Saviour is no respecter of persons! Whosoever will may come to Him!!
If you are in need today -- sitting by the wayside of life -- perhaps feeling your life is hopeless -- that no one cares or understands -- I have good news for you!
"JESUS IS STANDING STILL" right where you are at this very moment and calling for you just like he did for blind Bartimaeus so long ago!
