Wealth, Faith, and the Blind Man’s Cry. Luke 18

In this compelling episode of Finish the Race, we dive deep into Luke 18:18–42, where eternal life, spiritual sight, and bold faith collide. Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler exposes the heart-wrenching tension between worldly wealth and heavenly inheritance. When Jesus commands him to sell everything and follow, the man walks away—proving that sometimes, possessions possess us. Then, we shift to the raw faith of a blind beggar on the road to Jericho. While others tried to silence him, Bartimaeus shouted louder, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” His persistence and faith opened not just his eyes—but the eyes of every believer who hears this story today. Jesus doesn’t just heal; He hears the cries of those the world ignores. This episode explores the radical cost of discipleship, the danger of half-hearted faith, and the miracle that comes when we truly believe. Whether you're clinging to comfort or crying out for mercy, this teaching from Luke 18 will challenge and inspire you to keep running—eyes on Jesus—to finish the race.
