Zacchaeus and Bartimeaus

Zacchaeus and Bartimeaus

The crowds were thick as Jesus was passing through Jericho, so thick that Zacchaeus, a short man, could not get a glimpse of the Rabbi. So, he climbed a sycamore tree to get a better view. When Jesus saw him, He told Zacchaeus that they were about to have dinner together. Zacchaeus, filled with joy at what Jesus did for him, made right the wrongs of his past. The next day sitting by the gates of Jericho was a blind beggar named Bartimaeus. When he heard that Jesus was near, he began to scream for Jesus. The man could not be stopped. Whenever someone tried to quiet him down he screamed all the louder. And Jesus heard him.

Mark 10:50
In our last episode, we heard of the miraculous resurrection of Lazarus, whom Jesus commanded to arise and walk out of the tomb, despite the fact that he’d been dead for many days. It was an amazing show of the Lord’s power over death. Today we’ll hear how Jesus’ encounters with two very different men open each of their eyes in a different way. Both men will be offered an opportunity for a new life of purpose as they follow the Lord.
