Call Out To Jesus

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout,
`Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’
Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more,
`Son of David, have mercy on me!’”

Kim Riddlebarger: "Somehow this blind man had heard of Jesus. His relentless cry of faith, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy upon me,” is framed in the langauge of the Psalter.
This man believes that Jesus can help him
and he simply will not give up,
despite the crowd’s insistence that he do so.
He calls out to Jesus
over
and
over.
He is desperate.
And he just knows that Jesus can heal him."
