Living It Out This Week
The last positive healing in Mark helps us to see clearly again who Jesus is. We are all spiritually blind at times to the reality of who Jesus is. None of us gets it right! May these passages help you be healed of your blindness so you can see Jesus!
Sunday-Mark 10.46-52: Let the question Jesus ask Bartimaeus sit with you this day, “what do you want me to do?” Where are you willing to allow the Lord to do His work?
Monday-Mark 8.22-26: This healing alongside Bartimaeus’ bookend this section on discipleship. What sticks out about this healing for you? How do the two blind healings prepare us to see Jesus more clearly?
Tuesday-Isaiah 42.1-9: The prophet spoke about what Jesus would do when he came. Which attributes of the Messiah in these verses resonate with you today? Come to Jesus and follow Him!
Wednesday-1 Kings 3.1-15: Solomon was asked the same question as Bartimaeus. Notice his answer in this passage. Notice the Lord’s response. Will you trust the Lord with all of you. Pray for wisdom and discernment!
Thursday-Isaiah 42.10-17: The healing in Mark correlates with this passage very well. Where do you need light to see the path ahead? How can this passage help us follow Jesus?
Friday-Mark 11.12-33: Jesus has entered Jerusalem and the cross is looming before Him. What questions do you have as you read this passage? Where do you see wisdom, grace, truth, justice and peace in these verses? Ask God to give you eyes to see Jesus!
Saturday-Mark 1.8: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to church.
