About this listen
This Sunday, Dan dives into the story of blind Bartimaeus and how his physical blindness mirrors humanity's spiritual blindness, yet his spiritual insight surpassed that of the seeing crowd. When he heard Jesus was passing by, Bartimaeus refused to be silenced, crying out "Son of David, have mercy on me!" despite the crowd's rebuke. The transformative moment came when Jesus stopped, called him, and Bartimaeus threw off his beggar's cloak – symbolizing the complete surrender required to follow Christ. This isn't just ancient history; it's a living call to each of us to recognize our spiritual blindness, cry out for mercy, and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Dan challenges us: Have we truly been "caught" by Jesus ourselves before attempting to fish for others? The invitation stands – Jesus still stops for those who cry out in genuine faith.
