[The Glory Unveiled]
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” [ Mark 10:47 NIV ]
How often we burden ourselves with unnecessary suffering, stress, and pain. We carry weights that were never assigned to us, simply because we refuse to talk to Jesus. Many of our struggles persist not because they are unsolvable, but because they are unspoken. There was a moment when the disciples were with Jesus at sea, and suddenly a violent storm arose. Jesus, however, was asleep in the lower part of the boat. Before they cried out to Him, the disciples attempted to manage the crisis on their own. After all, most of them were seasoned fishermen. They relied on experience, skill, and strength—but all of it proved fruitless. Only when they were exhausted and overwhelmed did they call out to Jesus, saying, “Do You not care that we are perishing?” Jesus arose, spoke to the wind, and instantly there was calm. One word from Him succeeded where all their effort failed. Imagine how much distress they could have spared themselves if they had spoken to Jesus sooner. Consider also the man known as Blind Bartimaeus. He had lived in darkness for many years. One day, he heard that Jesus was passing by. This was not a moment to be silent. He cried out to Jesus with urgency and faith. Even when the crowd tried to silence him, he refused to be stopped. He spoke directly to Jesus and made his request known. Immediately, his eyes were opened, and he began to see. What he had lacked for years came in a moment because he seized the opportunity to talk to Jesus. How many answers are delayed because we remain silent? Jesus told His disciples, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name.” Then He invited them to ask, promising that their joy would be full. Yet too often, we exhaust ourselves striving, struggling, and attempting to fix what only God can resolve. Stop carrying burdens that conversation with Jesus can remove. Stop wrestling with storms that one word from Him can calm. Speak to Jesus. Ask. Cry out. Your breakthrough may not require more effort—only more prayer.
