FAITH THAT WILL NOT STOP LEAVES BEHIND THAT WHICH IS NO LONGER
NECESSARY. “Throwing
aside his cloak,
he jumped up and came to Jesus.”
(Mk. 10:50).
Since this point was covered in last week's sermon (posts 6/27/16 - 7/2/16), I won't go into
detail. I will only mention Phil. 3:7-8, 14. Faith always goes forward, never backward.

FAITH THAT WILL NOT STOP HAS A DEFINITE ANSWER FOR A POINTED
QUESTION. “And
answering him, Jesus said, “What
do you want Me to do for you?”
And the blind man said to Him,“Rabboni,
I
want to regain my sight!”
(Mk. 10:51).
Jesus asked Bartimaeus, “What
do you want me to do
for you?” I wonder how many blind men would have answered, “Can I have
ten bucks”? Did Bartimaeus want money or a miracle, a handout or a healing,
a sandwich or his sight? He responded enthusiastically to Jesus' question, taking full
advantage of it. How would you respond if Jesus asked you that question right now?
