In Mark 10:46–50, the story of the blind beggar reflects our own helplessness and need for God's grace and mercy. Though he was hindered and opposed by those around him, he chose to seek the Giver, and not simply what Jesus could offer him. He knew that Jesus was the Son of God because someone told him. Like so, we are called to share the truth of the gospel to the lost, and care enough to bring them to Christ. Ultimately, the beggar cast off his old life to follow Christ, showing that true encounter leads to transformed lives.
