ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 18TH MARCH 2023.
Many a time, we may be tempted to see the request of James and John as selfish and ungodly. These two brothers seemed to be fully aware of a place called heaven or the coming kingdom of God. They understood that life on earth is temporal, and sought for a better position in the everlasting Kingdom of God. Have you ever thought of what becomes of your life after here?
They were willing to sacrifice everything to earn a good position in the kingdom of God (vv.38-39). What are you willing to do for the sake of the Kingdom of God? Jesus never rebuked them for their request. He made them know the price of what they were demanding and who has the power to grant their request. He only calmed other disciples who became displeased with the request of the two brothers. Hence, it is important to address disputes whenever it arises.
The apostles resolved the one that emerged in their own time (Acts 6: 1-7). Do you have a dispute to address? Do it today. The healing of the blind Bartimaeus in our text, shows the awesome power of God to fulfil our desires.
What is your desire? Remove all garments of obstacles, and discouragements from people like blind Bartimaeus and come to Jesus and He will change your distress to His glory.
PRAYER: O Lord, give me a heart that seeks after your Kingdom, Amen.
