February Week 4

In week four, we finish up in Mark 10:46-52 with an
encounter between Jesus and Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus
was blind. Because of this, he was often ignored by
those who passed by him. When he learns that Jesus
is passing by, he calls out for help. Rather than walking
past and getting on with his day, Jesus takes time to
stop and help Bartimaeus. Jesus knew that Bartimaeus
had faith and healed him, changing his life forever.

Bottom Line: Make time to help others. We all know
people who require some help and compassion.
However, we don’t always prioritize those people in
our lives. Jesus showed us that prioritizing others and
making time for them is important for demonstrating His
love. We pray that kids will have a chance to think about
the ways they make time throughout their day to meet
the needs of those around them.
