Word of God Speak to Me

As we conclude our discussions on “When Jesus Passed by Jericho,” we see the analogy between Blind Bartimaeus and all of humanity. We also see how we can come to see in the true sense of the word and be saved, just as Blind Bartimaeus came to see.

When Jesus passed by Jericho, only two individuals—Zacchaeus and Bartimaeus—benefited: Zacchaeus received salvation, while Bartimaeus received both his sight and salvation and became a disciple of Jesus. Yet, a crowd followed Him. How is that so?

As it turned out, this was Jesus' last time passing through Jericho because, on this trip to Jerusalem, He was crucified for the salvation of humanity. If anyone thought they would seize their opportunity on Jesus' return, they were mistaken—they had missed it!

Scripture is replete with those who missed opportunities. In this episode, we discuss "Missed Opportunities" for our eternal benefit.

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?”
