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 answered and said unto him, What will you that I should do unto you? The blind man said unto Him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 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. …
"Jesus answered and said unto Aim, What do you want Me to do for you?" Mark 10:51. THE story of this miracle is wonderfully attractive. It has always been a favorite theme with preachers. From the days of the Apostles and the fathers of the Church they have delighted to dwell upon any single item of it as it is described by the three Evangelists who record it. We have frequently spoken of the incident as a whole—let us, therefore, now confine our attention to the question which Jesus asked of the blind man, "What do you want Me to do for you?" He asks the same question at this good hour—He asks it of blind men and, I think, He asks it of partly blind men, too. There are some of us whose eyes are opened, but whose vision is obscure—we cannot see afar off. Our blessed Lord and Master says to us, as well as to the blind ones, "What do you want Me to do for you?" Let us consider this question attentively, first on our Savior'spart—the disposition it shows. And then on our own part—the appeal to which we should respond. …
"And Jesus answered and said unto him, What do you want Me to do for you?" Mark 10:51. No doubt our Lord's disciples imagined that He was going up to Jerusalem to take unto Himself the Kingdom. They hoped that they would be partakers of that earthly grandeur which they had fondly pictured would glitter around the Person of the Son of David. When, therefore, the blind man ventured to cry out clamorously to Him, whom they esteemed to be a great King, they thought it a daring intrusion. Who was the son of Timaeus that he should say, "You Son of David, have mercy on me"? They were all anxious to hush the voice of misery in the Presence of so much Majesty. But our Lord Jesus Christ did not spurn the blind man's prayer as intrusive or impertinent. He was not angry with him. He did not even pass on without taking any notice. What He did was to stand still and command the man to be brought to Him. …
