Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

⁴⁶Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. ⁴⁷When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

⁴⁸Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

⁴⁹Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." ⁵⁰Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

⁵¹"What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see."

⁵²"Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Rabuni, semoga aku dapat melihat

Lalu tibalah Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya di Yerikho. Dan ketika Yesus keluar dari Yerikho, bersama-sama dengan murid-murid-Nya dan orang banyak yang berbondong-bondong, ada seorang pengemis yang buta, bernama Bartimeus, anak Timeus, duduk di pinggir jalan.Ketika didengarnya, bahwa itu adalah Yesus orang Nazaret, mulailah ia berseru: "Yesus, Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku!"Banyak orang menegornya supaya ia diam. Namun semakin keras ia berseru: "Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku!"Lalu Yesus berhenti dan berkata: "Panggillah dia!" Mereka memanggil orang buta itu dan berkata kepadanya: "Kuatkan hatimu, berdirilah, Ia memanggil engkau."Lalu ia menanggalkan jubahnya, ia segera berdiri dan pergi mendapatkan Yesus.Tanya Yesus kepadanya: "Apa yang kaukehendaki supaya Aku perbuat bagimu?" Jawab orang buta itu: "Rabuni, supaya aku dapat melihat!"Lalu kata Yesus kepadanya: "Pergilah, imanmu telah menyelamatkan engkau!" Pada saat itu juga melihatlah ia, lalu ia mengikuti Yesus dalam perjalanan-Nya.

Why should you go to church, if there is one near you, or gather with other Christians? Here are 7 reasons for you to consider.

2. You can learn from godly teaching and become a stronger Christian.
3. You can worship God and bring Him honor and glory as you worship Him in the congregation.
4. You can learn how to study the Bible from others
5. You can get to know other Christians who can affirm you and help you.

7. Your family can grow as Christians.

Are we perfect? Of course not and all of us are not perfect. However, we are forgiven in Jesus Christ; we can be filled with God’s Holy Spirit; and, even though we are not perfect, the Bible says we as the church will be the bride of Christ. So if Jesus Christ loves us in spite of our imperfections, let us all love God and love others as we seek to serve Christ together.
