Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Have you ever wondered how God reacts to the chaos of this world? Does He retreat when bad things happen? Is He a God who has washed His hands of the world and so we can’t find Him when we need Him? In the midst of this worldwide pandemic where is God? Is He able to help us? These are similar questions facing a man we call Blind Bartimaeus. His story is found in Mark 10:46-52. Bartimaeus’ cry for help above the noise of the crowd gives us some insight on how we as Christians can approach Jesus in this time of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty.
