When Jesus passed by Jericho, only two individuals—Zacchaeus and Bartimaeus—benefited: Zacchaeus received salvation, while Bartimaeus received both his sight and salvation and became a disciple of Jesus. Yet, a crowd followed Him. How is that so?
As it turned out, this was Jesus' last time passing through Jericho because, on this trip to Jerusalem, He was crucified for the salvation of humanity. If anyone thought they would seize their opportunity on Jesus' return, they were mistaken—they had missed it!
Scripture is replete with those who missed opportunities. In this episode, we discuss "Missed Opportunities" for our eternal benefit.
