JESUS PAYS ATTENTION

A blind man called Bartimaeus saw Jesus passing (Mark 10v46). He shouted for mercy,for his healing. This man had been sitting by the road side begging. People rebuked him and told him to be quiet.
This all happened on the last day of Jesus in Jericho. He was heading to Jerusalem. Jesus stopped and asked for Bartimaeus to come forward. He asked him what he wanted and he said, "I want to see." Jesus told him,"your faith has healed you."And he received his sight immediately.

Bartimaeus kept on shouting even though people stopped him. He knew that this Jesus was different from the people resisting him. The tradition did not allow people like him to mix with the clean people because the sick were regarded as unclean.
The leprosy were not even allowed to sit on the roadside. They were in total isolation, atleast he was just blind,and he should have just sit there quietly. I could imagine the people angry with his noise, wishing they could seal his mouth with something like adhesive tape, a strong one.
The woman of the issue of blood touched Jesus secretly because she knew she was not supposed to be there. Jesus realized that someone has got a miracle but she is hiding,afraid of the people. He called her back and said to her, "Daughter your faith has healed you"(Mark 5v34). He called her daughter, that shows how close Jesus was to the neglected,the condemned.
Jesus pays attention to everyone who calls upon him. It doesn't matter where the society has put you. Bartimaeus aim was for his voice to be heard by Jesus. He ignored the people stopping him. The woman with the issue of blood made up her mind to get her healing despite the crowd pushing her,she pressed on.

Jesus will pay attention to you just call upon him in prayer. If Bartimaeus did not shout, he would have remained the same blind beggar, remember it was the last day of Jesus in Jericho. He was heading to Jerusalem. Brethren,shout until he stops for you, who knows why Jesus took the route where Bartimaeus was and why Bartimaeus chose to be sitting on that particular roadside. Brethren don't miss your opportunity, you are in a position to receive your miracle, shout!
