I went to the eye doctor yesterday for my check-up after the last cataract surgery and I was so thrilled to learn that the glasses were to be used only for close work from now on. I could not believe it. I have worn glasses since I was in high school.
Can you just imagine the joy of Blind Bartimaeus in a time when there were no Lenscrafter doctors, and no cataract surgeons who could do implant surgeries. Christ just healed him instantly --no further checkups necessary! One can read the full story in Mark 10:51 when the deal happened and Christ said to him, "Your faith has made you well." And his faith caused him to follow Christ!
This is as surprising to me as the man's well-placed faith. He saw need and realized that people needed to ally with Christ. He did not run to tell his family nor did he run to sow his wild oats; he did not run to a psychiatrist to help him deal with the change in his life. He hitched his wagon immediately to the star player. Go and do thou likewise,....and this means me!
