Mark 10:46-52

Other than the walk to Golgotha, Jesus’ final trip to Jerusalem must have been the “heaviest” journey of his earthly ministry.  So much suffering lay ahead for him before the victory over sin and death would be accomplished.  But even with that burden upon his heart, Jesus was willing to use another interruption as an opportunity to do good—this time for a blind beggar named Bartimaeus.

• An interruption can be an opportunity for calling a person to faith in Jesus Christ, or for nurturing the faith already in their heart.
• An interruption can be an opportunity for inviting a person to become a disciple, following Jesus in their daily living.
