When Jesus opened Bartimaeus’ eyes He said, “Go your way, your faith has made you well.” In this episode, we consider these words of Jesus, “Your faith has made you well,” as we look at what faith is, how it works, and the meaning of Jesus’ words and their implications for us.
When Jesus opened Bartimaeus’ eyes, He spoke and that was it! It was not the same way He opened the eyes of others. Indeed, Jesus achieved the same results in diverse ways. Unfortunately, many expend their energies trying to figure out how God will meet their needs and end up as nervous wrecks. And when God does what He had promised, it is usually not as they expected. So, “How will God meet your needs?”
When God asks you the kind of question Jesus asked blind Bartimaeus, how should you answer and how should you not answer? This is the subject of this episode.
When blind Bartimaeus got to where Jesus was, Jesus asked Him what he wanted Him to do for him. This would have been strange to an onlooker. When a blind man cries persistently for mercy what else would you expect him to ask for? Well, the answer is not as straightforward as one may think. In this episode, we explore why God would ask a question like, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
There is a way you must appear when God invites you. We use the fact that Bartimaeus threw aside his outer garment to deduce another reason and explore how we should in like-manner honour God’s invitation.
