For a beggar like Bartimaeus, it might have been one of his few possessions, possibly used to collect alms. The act of throwing it off signifies a decisive break from his past life and a readiness to embrace change. This action can be seen as a demonstration of faith, similar to the call of the disciples who left their nets to follow Jesus (<a href="/mark/1-18.htm">Mark 1:18</a>). It symbolizes casting aside old ways and hindrances to follow Christ.<p><b>Bartimaeus jumped up</b><br>Bartimaeus's immediate response to Jesus' call is one of eagerness and urgency. His physical action of jumping up reflects his inner excitement and hope. This mirrors the enthusiasm seen in other biblical figures who respond to God's call with immediacy, such as Zacchaeus who hurried down from the tree to meet Jesus (<a href="/luke/19-6.htm">Luke 19:6</a>). It highlights the transformative power of Jesus' presence and the hope He brings to those who seek Him.<p><b>and came to Jesus</b><br>Bartimaeus's movement towards Jesus is significant, as it represents a step of faith and trust. Despite his blindness, he moves towards the source of his healing. This act of coming to Jesus is a central theme in the Gospels, where individuals are invited to approach Christ for healing, forgiveness, and salvation. It echoes the invitation Jesus extends in <a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28</a>, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Bartimaeus's approach to Jesus is a physical manifestation of his faith and desire for transformation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/bartimaeus.htm">Bartimaeus</a></b><br>A blind beggar sitting by the roadside in Jericho.
