An Encounter with Christ

In Luke 18, we learn about Bartimaeus, a blind beggar who sought Christ’s mercy in hope that his sight could be restored. Helpless to rectify his hopeless circumstances, Bartimaeus faced a version of our own spiritual dilemma. Alistair Begg reminds us that, like the beggar, we also need Christ’s divine power to open our spiritually blind eyes. If we bring our sin before Christ and call out to Him for mercy, we too can be saved from sin’s darkness.
