Mark 10:49

"When Jesus heard [the blind man begging for mercy], he stopped and said, "Tell him to come here." So they called the blind man. "Cheer up," they...."

Listening to other people can be very confusing. You cannot make a decision about Jesus based on what others think. Some will discourage and some will cheer. You have to decide.

These followers are not what they used to be and not yet what they are going to be... they are learners. Ron Rose is back at Black Rifle Coffee, and God is in the room inviting people to walk with Jesus in the narrows!

See the King headed to a cross, the foal of a donkey, and a formerly blind man who followed along the way. James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that many were blind to Jesus as the Messiah because he refused to be the kind of Messiah they expected; he was the upside down Messiah.

How can we know if our lives make a difference and truly matter? Phil Ware helps us to better understand both Mark's message about where true life is found and also his outline and organization of his gospel around the hinges to the story provided by the stories of two blind men that Jesus heals.
