The Daily Grind ☕️ - Throw Off Your Old Garment
When the teacher-rabbi was passing by, Bartimaeus was ready to shed his old life and identify with Jesus fully.
So he threw off his outer garment, which identified him as a broken, blind beggar, and he approached Jesus in spite of the crowd.
Somehow he knew that if he could get Jesus’ attention, there would be hope for his condition. He simply believed it was possible.
His faith caused him to “jump up,” and as he did, Jesus gave him what he needed. Not just sight, but a new life, a new beginning, a new identity.
What do you need to “throw off” in order to approach Him? What outer garment do you need to leave behind to move forward? - Pastor Jimmy
