He is the only one in Mark, aside from Jesus in Mark 12:35, to use this title. Even though he is blind, Bartimaeus demonstrates that he can see far more than the crowds around Jesus. This man sees Christ quite clearly! He knows that Jesus is the heir to David\u2019s throne. He knows that Jesus is the one who was talked about in 2 Samuel 7:4-16. The blind man\u2019s understanding of Scripture is stunning. Again, we see Mark emphasizing the faith of the despised and the lowly, while the proud (the crowds) miss the kingdom of God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4508","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
