Happy New You

“Happy New You” 

 

Faith sees through the fog.

Mark 10

 

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 

 

47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

 

48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

 

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 

 

50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

 

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

 

52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

 

 

What do you want me to do for you?

 

 

 

Luke 8

 

42 ...As Jesus was on his way, the crowds almost crushed him. 

 

43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 

 

44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

 

45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.”

 

46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.”

 

48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”

 

 

Real true faith is man's weakness leaning on God's strength.

— Dwight L. Moody

 

 

 

Mark 2

 

3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 

 

4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 

 

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

 

11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.”

Mathew 9

 

32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 

 

33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

 

 

Who is in the crowd today?
