Marcos 10
Hendriksen - The meaning (of will note enter) is the only possible way to enter the kingdom is by receiving it readily and trustfully as a child accepts a gift. A child is not too proud to accept a gift! Ray Pritchard - That must have shocked those big-shot disciples. Ironically, at that moment the little children were closer to Jesus than the disciples who tried to keep them away. (Suffer the Little Children) Steven

Hendriksen adds that "Even today, in such circumstances of life, yes and always, Jesus is calling us to his side, for he is a wonderful Savior. He calls in order to comfort, to cheer, and, as in this case, to heal, to restore."(Baker New Testament Commentary – Exposition of the Gospel According to Mark) 🙏 THOUGHT - Jesus is calling for Bartimaeus, who did respond (of course He had been calling for Jesus!). Sadly not everyone is ready to respond the Jesus' call! Have you heard His call...to salvation?...to a specific ministry?...etc? Have you like Bartimaeus thrown aside your cloak (cf whatever it is that encumbers you) and jumped to your feet (enthusiastically responding) and come to Jesus? I know men who have had calls from Jesus to be a pastor and yet because of their successful professions (their work, not their "professions" of Christ, for one was for sure a believer) they refused to respond. One shared with me before he died that it was the greatest mistake of his life to resist His call as young man and it hounded him for some 40 years thereafter. The other man became very wealthy being in on the ground floor with Dell Computers and I totally lost track of him after he rejected Jesus' offer -- I remember that his wife was considerably distressed by his decision to stay with Dell and bypass full time ministry. Perhaps he had a change of heart but as I said I lost track of this couple (W. Mark 10:50 Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus. Php 3:7-9 Heb 12:1 Mark 10 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Resources: Matthew 20:29-34+ As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him. 30 And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 31 The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 32 And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 33 They *said to Him, “Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.” 34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him. Luke 18:35-43+ As Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. 36Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was. 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him, 41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!” 42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God. Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus - "In his eager faith, he cast away his beggar’s cloak, likely the only thing he possessed. His act symbolizes genuine faith, which abandons all to follow Christ." (MacArthur) Mark 10:51 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!" What: Mk 10:36 2Ch 1:7 Mt 6:8 7:7 Lu 18:41-43 Php 4:6 Mark 10 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Resources: Matthew 20:29-34+ As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Him. 30 And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 31 The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 32 And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 33 They *said to Him, “Lord, we want our eyes to be opened.” 34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

And answering him, Jesus said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" - Jesus knew hearts so He already knew what this man wanted, but He wants us to hear. Contrast the rich young ruler who ran up and knelt down and asked what can I DO to inherit eternal life? Here Jesus asks what the beggar wanted HIM TO DO for him. Steven

Hendriksen - To be sure, Jesus already knew what Bartimaeus wanted, but he wants him to ask for it. So also it is true in general that even though the heavenly Father is well acquainted with the needs of his children, he nevertheless tells them to "open their mouth wide" (Ps. 81:10), so he may fill it. *(Baker New Testament Commentary – Exposition of the Gospel According to Luke)
Marcos 10
Hendriksen comments that "Moreover, in view of the fact that faith is itself God's gift (see Eph. 2:8+), it is nothing less than astounding that Jesus here and elsewhere praises the recipient of the gift for exercising it! This proves the generous character of his love. (Baker New Testament Commentary – Exposition of the Gospel According to Luke) Steven
