In this story, a blind man from Jericho named Bartimaeus makes a surprisingly strong statement of faith and implores the healing power of the Lord. As soon as he was healed, he followed Jesus, as His other disciples, on His way to Jerusalem. Jesus asked him to go his way, but the blind man chose Jesus’ way! What a contrast with the two disciples from the previous event who had sight but were spiritually blind! Which kind of blindness is worse?
