Talk about being insignificant. Not only was he just another beggar in a place probably swarming with them, he didn’t even have a real name—“Bartimaeus” merely means “son of Timaeus”! And yet Jesus, the King of heaven and the incarnate Son of God, stopped in His tracks when this blind, nameless and often-ignored beggar called out to Him. Jesus heard him and had compassion on him, and responded to his need. He treated Bartimaeus with respect, empathized with the desire of his heart and set him free to see again. Like Bartimaeus, your need is your qualification for His miracle.
