[47] When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"Our ________________ can often sense what our ________________ cannot.[2 Samuel 7:16] Your house and your kingdom will continue before me for all time, and your throne will be secure forever.'"Sometimes ________________ produces spiritual ________________.[Mark 10:48] "Be quiet!" many of the people yelled at him. But he only shouted louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"When ________________ is within reach, ______________ is not an option.[Mark 10:49] When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, "Tell him to come here." So they called the blind man. "Cheer up," they said. "Come on, he's calling you!"Jesus is still ________________ for those who ___________ out to Him.[Psalm 34:18 NIV] The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.God is ________________ far away.[Mark 10:50] Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.Faith often requires letting go before the ________________ is guaranteed.[Mark 10:51-52] "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked. "My rabbi," the blind man said, "I want to see!" [52] And Jesus said to him, "Go, for your faith has healed you." Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus down the road.[2 Corinthians 5:17] This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.
