Deep dives
Bartimaeus hears
Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, hears that Jesus of Nazareth is nearby and begins to shout for Jesus' mercy. Despite being silenced by the crowd, Bartimaeus persists and shouts even louder. This demonstrates his dependence on what he hears rather than what he sees. As believers, we are called to walk by faith and not by sight, living by what we hear in God's word.
