“I Want to See”

by Alistair Begg

Mark 10:46–52
 (ID: 2829)

Though Bartimaeus was the only person to be given sight in Mark 10, he was not the sole blind man present, Alistair Begg observes. The disciples continued to be oblivious to who Jesus really was, the crowd became a barrier to those who wanted to see Christ—and we, too, may fail to acknowledge our spiritual blindness. Like Bartimaeus, our greatest need is to call out to Jesus to open our eyes so that we can see God’s great, healing mercy.
