Story Of A Blind Man – Bartimaeus
A blind man had been sitting on the roadside for many years. He thought his life was hopeless and worthless. In the book of Mark, his name is mentioned as Bartimaeus. One day, he heard strange stories about a man who was going around healing many sicknesses. The blind man was hoping he would get a chance to meet this healer. But no one took him to the healer, and he didn’t know where the healer was.
Every day, Bartimaeus depended on someone to take him to his roadside spot. He will sit there and beg for money until the end of the day. Then, he will look for someone to take him back to his tiny shelter. This kept continuing. Often, somebody continued to feed him about the healer who healed the mute, blind, sick, and many others. The blind man kept dreaming and thinking all day: what if he could get one chance to meet this healer? At least once !! Just enough to get his healing. Dear friend, while you are reading this, are you in the same situation as Bartimaeus? Jesus is right next to you. You can call upon His name. He wants to answer your prayers.
It was a usual morning. Bartimaeus took his usual spot by the roadside. He heard the footsteps of many walking by the way. It was not a festival day. There were many footsteps. The blind man became curious. He asked a passer-by, what’s going on? The response of the passer-by made him thrilled. The healer is walking by. The blind man could not figure out whether the healer had passed by or was still approaching. He heard so much about the healer and his miracles. The healer was there, but he could not see. Someone told him the healer’s name was Jesus.
The blind man started shouting with all his strength, “Jesus, mercy on me“. He was not sure whether Jesus heard him. Hence, he started crying aloud. People made fun of him. Someone yelled at him to shut up. But he was not going to be quiet. This is his last chance to get healed. The opportunity he had waited for many months was very much there. He increased his voice and shouted louder and louder without knowing where Jesus was. This man’s voice stopped Jesus, and he called the blind man. Somebody took the blind man and led him to Jesus. The blind man jumped to his feet. What he dreamt started unfolding after so much waiting. He was sure he was going to be healed. He heard a voice asking, “What you want me to do to you“. He was not sure who it was. The blind man had only one need. He wanted Jesus to open his eyes, and he said so. He heard a voice from Jesus, “Your faith has healed you“. He could see for the first time, and he saw Jesus.
