Mark 10:46-52 tells us of the encounter between Blind Bartimaeus and Jesus. This man realized his need for Jesus and wouldn’t let others stand in his way. What about us today? What is keeping us from Jesus? Is our faith bigger than our fear?
Our need as Christians is to be rooted and built up in Christ. Colossians 3:1-16 shows us our need to be maintaining our roots, maintaining our walk, as we grow and mature in Christ. Friends, time is short, if we’re going to use this life for Christ, today is the day!
