Today, we explore the theme of God’s call in the context of Mark’s Gospel, focusing on the story of Bartimaeus, the blind beggar. Through this narrative, he emphasises the transformative journey of faith that leads ultimately to Jesus’ sacrifice. The act of Bartimaeus gaining sight signifies physical healing and a deeper understanding of who Jesus is, inviting believers to shed their past and follow Him. The message culminates in the idea that every believer, like Bartimaeus, is called to enter into a relationship with Jesus, leading to redemption and love that surpasses all understanding.
