What These Eyes Have Seen

Scripture tells us that “blind Bartimaeus” followed Jesus after he was healed. This occurred just days before the crucifixion of Christ. Bartimaeus saw Jesus one day—and His death only a few days later. Incredible beauty was followed by indescribable brutality. Yet Bartimaeus’ reason for following Jesus wasn’t based on what he could see, but simply that he could see. This sermon challenges us not to let what we see around us dictate how faithfully we follow the One who made us see.
