The land of Jesus‚ the Promised Land (one name amongst many) is very well known by our people.

the opportunity to interact with Jesus we shouldn’t hesitate to take this opportunity because you never know when it will be gone. Bartimaeus knew this. When Jesus called to him‚ he didn’t wait to come to Jesus but rather he “threw aside his cloak‚ sprang up‚ and came to Jesus” (v. 50). Bartimaeus didn’t wait to get up after being called.
