We believe that we are all those who have heard the voice of the Lord and have been called before the Lord.
The Lord Passing Through Jericho
Jesus traveled not only to the land of Judea, but also to the lands of the Gentiles countless times. Today is the scene where Jesus came to Jericho and left Jericho. Also, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting on the road where Jesus was passing and begging. Even today, a large crowd was following Jesus around Jesus. Even at this time, the Lord is here and is in the midst of a large crowd. I hope that you will meet that Jesus today and die. We believe that our lives will change and that all of our people will change.
Bartimaeus did not miss this opportunity and cried out to Jesus Christ.
Please do not miss the opportunity of God's grace that comes along the way to faith. Badimeo has a mountain he cannot cross. Still, he screamed louder. He knew it was the way to live. I hope you believe that meeting Jesus is the way to live. I hope you believe that only Jesus has a solution to the problem.
Wake up in peace, I am calling you.
What a thrilling moment. I am stopped at the thought of Jesus and the plan of Jesus is within me.
Badimeo threw away his coat.
What does it mean to throw away your cloak to a beggar? Because he is blind, it is like throwing away the staff. He gave up the shell of the body he had depended on all his life to meet the Lord. A good decision is the way to receive God's favor.
The Lord asked Bartimaeus directly.
What do you want me to do for you?
These words are the Lord's proclamation to reveal that He is Almighty God.
Lord, I want to see you
This answer is the answer of faith. Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, experienced the miracle of opening his dark eyes by faith. Blessed are those who long for the Lord and wait for Him. Those who meet the Lord are happy and blessed. Bartimaeus lived a life of indescribable poverty as a blind man, a beggar, and in the bondage of uncleanness. But because he met Jesus Christ, he became a man of change and hope.
He is now a man of Christ and a disciple of Jesus.
He has now become a man who boasts and glorifies God wherever he goes. Why did the Lord call us?
