Mark 10:46–52 — Seeing Jesus with Eyes of Faith

Jesus always responds to those who call to him in faith. He never elevates his mission above the people who cry to him, because his mission is the people who cry to him. He's just told the disciples that he came to "to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many" — and here is one of them, this blind beggar who has the audacity and faith to believe that Jesus might have time for him, might have mercy for him, might be willing to help him in his need.
