In difficult days and facing dire circumstances, it is always good to remind ourselves that God is greater than all.

Scott Pauley is examining the miracles of Jesus recorded for us in God's Word.

Our hope is that the message in these miracles will become real in your life.

Christ is enough.

Let's open our Bibles and join the study now.

We are living in a noisy world.

In fact, the noise at times seems to almost drive you crazy.

I'm not talking just about sounds.

I'm talking rather about all of the fussing and the fighting and the feuding, all of the media and

people vying for attention. It's a noisy world and a noisy generation we are living in,

and yet our Lord speaks through the noise. He works through the noise. He hears our cry through the noise.

In our last study, we were in Luke chapter number 17, where Jesus healed ten lepers.

But I want to draw your attention to the next chapter, to Luke chapter 18 today, to the healing of a blind man.

In fact, I would encourage you to read the parallel accounts. You'll find in

Matthew 20 and in Mark 10 the parallel to what we're about to read. And both of those accounts

give us some details that Luke does not give us. For example, Matthew tells us that there was not

only one blind man at this particular time healed, there were two blind

men. Obviously, one of them is the most vocal one and the one that seems to interact most with

the Lord, maybe the most prominent of the two. Mark tells us the name of that blind man. His

name was Bartimaeus. Perhaps you've heard of old blind Bartimaeus, the beggar. And so Matthew tells us,

there were two blind men. Mark tells us that the one that is most concentrated on is named

Bartamaeus, but Luke is the one that records this story and tells us something about the surroundings.
