We see in blind Bartimaeus a very beautiful picture of the steps of a sinner coming for spiritual relief to Jesus.
A. He heard Jesus was near.
B. He acted by crying out to Christ for mercy.
C. He repented (he threw away his cloak).
D. He believed.
E. He followed.
Indeed, this was a real part of the story that day, and it is ever so true today as we can look to the cross where Jesus died and know our sins are forgiven.
