Episode 719: The Big Ask

Harbor Rock Tabernacle

Knowing we need wisdom more than anything, we still have important needs in our life. In the case of Bartimaeus, a blind beggar in Jericho, it was to receive his sight. But his desperate cry to Jesus for mercy reveals that he recognized Jesus first as Messiah, and also that he was asking with bold, active faith. The fact that Jesus stopped and helped him stirs us to be confident in God's mercy, and to remember that we won't receive if we never ask.
