This sermon brought to an end Jesus’ journey from Caesaria Philippi to Jerusalem. We have been on that journey since the end of chapter eight. Chapter eleven will begin with Jesus’ triumphal entry into the city. But before we arrive, we must pick up one more disciple along the way.
This is one of my favorite stories from the gospel. It is rich and inspiring and encouraging. It is also a beautiful picture of grace. Bartimaeus, of course, represents us and also, in contrast to the other disciples, he represents an ideal of what a disciple should be. I preached this sermon about three months ago but it is still fresh on my memory. What a delightful story! I hope you will listen and be encouraged in your faith on your journey following Christ.
