Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”Jesus stood still and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee.

And the church say, my topic tonight might be a little confusing because I really didn't know what to name it, but it's day blindness and night vision. And my subtopic is standing between images. Standing between images. Lord do it I give it to you in Jesus name Amen you may be seated now I want to start with making some comparisons and contrast of the two scriptures so that we can see why we're using the two of them. In Psalms 23, we see David opening with the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want or I shall not lack. In Mark 10, we see that there is a blind man begging. In Psalms 23, we see the language, he makes me and he leads me. But in Mark 10, we see where Jesus called him and he got up and went. In Psalms 23, we see walking through darkness. But in Mark 10, we see the blind man asking to end this darkness and restore the sight. …
"And they came to Jericho: and as Jesus went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, You Son of David, have mercy on me! And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, You Son of David, have mercy on me! And Jesus stoodstill, and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise, He calls you. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

And Jesus said unto him, Go your way; your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way." Mark 10:46-52. …
44. And whoever of you will be the chief, shall be servant of all.And that is the way to be truly great in the Church of God—it is to be less and less in your own esteem, and willing to be nothing! The way up is downward! That is not a contradiction, but it is a paradox. Sink, and you shall rise. Be willing to serve the very leas,and you shall have honor among your Brothers and Sisters. Remember that the King of Kings was the Servant of Servants! "Whoever of you will be the chief, shall be servant of all." 45-49. For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give His life a ransom for many. And they came to Jericho: and as He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.> And many charged him that he should hold his peace; but he cried the more a great deal, Son of David, have mercy on me! And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort. "Cheer up." That would be a very exact translation. …
