Comfort & Security
The story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10 is the story of someone who finally "gets it," unlike the rich man or James and John. And while the disciples were quick to dismiss Bartimaeus, Jesus called to him, and Bartimaeus threw off his cloak--his only possession--and ran to Jesus.
Scripture: Mark 10:46-52, Mark 8:24-25, Mark 10:21-22, Mark 10:36-37
From Series: "No Other King"
People are not convinced to follow Jesus because of what he taught. They.re convinced by what they see. Jesus taught us to look beyond the castles and crowns, positions and titles--not to fear, but to follow. It was not his teachings that attracted people to him, but rather how he loved. All the earthly kingdoms we still pursue--comfort, status, wealth, security, image--will leave us wanting. Only in Jesus do realize we need no other King.
