“The blind man threw away his cloak and jumped up and came to Jesus” (Mark 10:50).
Badimeo knows that his misfortune is 'because he can't see'. His misfortune was not that he lacked money, that he lacked knowledge, or that he was ugly. It was 'can't see'.
The Lord healed him as he came forward. It is also dark eyes that make us unhappy. In other words, the dark psychic eye.
The fact that Bartimaeus called "Jesus, Son of David" is proof that he believed in Jesus Christ as the Messiah who came according to the prophecies of the prophets. The Lord saw the faith that believed that there is only one person who can take away all the misery of spirit and body and make you happy. That's right. Only Jesus can solve your problems with me.
Badimeo did not stop, although the crowd around him scolded, suppressed and disturbed him. I cried out even louder. This is a rebellious belief. Even if you are disturbed and persecuted by your side, you must not give in and look to the Lord alone and move forward. Seeing this faith, the Lord acknowledged it, praised it, and healed it.
Bartimaeus threw down his cloak and had faith to run. To beggars, outerwear is a valuable asset. They are clothes, blankets, and furoshiki when packing. It's the same as property number one.
When Jesus called, he threw away his cloak and ran. This is the faith that the Lord is satisfied with. Today we meet Jesus, aren't we wearing cumbersome cloaks? Honor Prestige Face Business Workplace... . Do you not value these and other things more than Jesus? You must throw away these things and run to Jesus to meet Jesus.
Badimeo had only one wish. When Jesus asked, “What is your wish?” He did not ask for a house, clothes, or food. I just wanted to open my eyes. All misfortunes can be escaped by just opening your eyes to see beings and things.
The Lord is looking for those who have this kind of faith today. Dear brothers and sisters, I hope that we too will receive the grace of opening not only the eyes of the body but also the eyes of the soul like Bartimaeus before the Lord.
