Today's Verse: Mark 10:52 (ESV)
And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; gyour faith has hmade you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way.
g ch. 5:34; Matt. 9:22; Luke 7:50; 8:48; 17:19
h ch. 5:23, 28; 6:56
This verse, of course, is taken from the account of Blind Bartimaeus, who called on Jesus for healing. And, although others attempted to rebuke this blind beggar, Jesus heard him and healed him with the words “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And, in response, the healed beggar followed Jesus along the road to Jerusalem.
Today's Comments: Thanksgiving is shortly coming upon us. I will be preaching at our Thanksgiving service on Thursday. These are the lessons that I will be reading for the day:
The short sermon is simply stated in two sentences: we only need depend upon the Lord for our provisions, and we should give thanks to Him for all that He gives us. The longer sermon is still to be written.
How many of us, today, ask God for help and then fail to thank him? Remember ten lepers who Jesus healed? How many came back to thank him? The answer was one.
Like Blind Bartimaeus, when the Holy Spirit works in our lives, will we turn to follow Jesus Christ, or will we take everything for granted and turn away from God, as eventually did the Israelites? Bartimaeus not only opened his eyes to see, but he opened his heart to foll0w. And so must we.
