THE STORY OF BARTIMAEUS:

• The story of Bartimaeus is found in Mark 10:46-52, highlighting the relentless determination of a blind beggar who cried out to Jesus for Mercy and Healing in his moment of desperation.

• Bartimaeus was a BLIND BEGGAR sitting by the roadside as Jesus and his disciples traveled from Jericho.

• Bartimaeus HEARS that Jesus is passing by; he SHOUTS, "Jesus, Son of David, have MERCY ON ME!".

• The crowd rebukes Bartimaeus and tells him to be quiet, but he SHOUTS even louder.

• Jesus STOPS and tells them to call Bartimaeus over.

• Bartimaeus THROWS OFF his cloak (beggar's robe) and GOES to Jesus, who heals him and says, "Your FAITH has made you well."

• Bartimaeus IMMEDIATELY received his sight and FOLLOWED Jesus...
