Do you feel empty and that your time is running out? That’s how blind Bartimaeus felt in Mark 10:46. Yet when Jesus passed by him, the beggar shouted in faith, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! Rabbi, I want to see.” Evangelist Franklin Graham points out that not only did Jesus miraculously restore this man’s sight, but He forgave his sins, erasing his past, as well. Like Bartimaeus, Jesus can forgive your sin and erase your past too.
