John Hull, a British theology professor who lost his sight as an adult, poured out his fear to a friend until he heard the question that stopped him: what do you need most right now? Jesus asks the same question of blind Bartimaeus near Jericho (Mark 10), a beggar who threw off his cloak, his only security, and asked for mercy. The sermon shows the difference between religion, which brings God ready-made plans to rubber-stamp, and faith, which comes with empty hands. Listen and stand before Jesus with that question: what do you want him to do for you?
What Do You Want Me to Do for You?
Who Is Jesus?
Questions are like keys. They open doors, prompt us to seek answers, and lead to important discoveries. Some of these questions are more important than others, because so much depends on them. One of the most important questions is: Who is Jesus? Was He a fraud who deceived His disciples and then millions of people around the world? A madman suffering from delusions of grandeur? Or was He who He claimed to be? Who was He? In search of the answer to this question, we embark on a journey through the Gospel of Mark, because we know that so much depends on this answer.
