When the crowds told a blind man to stop calling out to Jesus he did not stop. Not only this, but the scriptures tell us that his cries intensified. You see, the blind man that Jesus encounters in Luke chapter 18 understood a couple of things that we would be well served to remember ourselves... He knew that it wasn't enough to just be around the crowds surrounding Jesus, he wanted to be close to Jesus himself, and he knew that just because he couldn't see Jesus didn't mean Jesus couldn't see him. What happens next is a great example of how Jesus really is the Friend of Sinners.
