Hope in The Word Mark 10:46-52

Hope Church continues our new series of Podcasts "Hope in the Word". Today we look at Mark 10:46-52 and people share what they learn from this passage and their experiences. Faith prays and Helen reads the passage for us.

Today we look at the healing of a man called Bartimaus who was blind and begging by the side of the road when Jesus passes on his way to Jerusalem. The story also challenges our willingness to seek Jesus and reach out in faith. 

Mark 10:46–52

[46] And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. [47] And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” [48] And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” [49] And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” [50] And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. [51] And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” [52] And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.
