Down, But Not Out

Bartimaeus’ blindness did not prevent him from spiritually seeing (knowing) Jesus was Messiah. He called Him, the “Son of David.” His spiritual insight surpassed his natural sight, demonstrating great faith. Jesus, sensing His courage and faithfulness, healed Him, and immediately, Bartimaeus became a follower of Jesus. He may have been down, but he was definitely not out. He was proactive despite the odds.
