Jesus Restores Sight to Bartimaeus in Jericho
When Bartimaeus hears that Jesus is coming, he tries desperately to get Jesus' attention. The people around him are annoyed and try to shut him up, but he ignores them and cries out all the louder. This does not put Jesus off but rewards it by healing Bartimaeus. While the world may look down on the desperate or ask people to be more polite in asking for things, Jesus does not. This story is one of many that shows that Jesus has a heart for the desperate and the annoyingly persistent.

About this Plan
Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
