God keeps on pursuit....

30th Ord. Sunday - Yr B.

God keeps on pursuit....
Today’s gospel is about a man by the name of Bartimaeus who had a handicap of not seeing. He was blind. He is one of the dregs of Jewish society whose blindness is considered as a punishment from God because of his sinfulness he committed. He was hurt not only physically but also above all, spiritually and emotionally. He is spiritually and emotionally hurt because people rejected him and isolated him from the community and Jesus knew how painful this was. He shouted at Jesus to help him in his sickness. Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here...what do you want me to do for you?" In this way, God cares for us no matter who we are or what we have done. God never abandons anyone even those who abandon him. God loves us all and will continue to pursue us whenever we stray. God will never ever give up. This is cause for great rejoicing.
