The Gospel of Luke highlights Jesus on the road to Jerusalem and the cross. He met all kinds of people along the way. This guy stands out partly because of his audacity in the face of rebuke. Was it desperation or faith? I am going to highlight some of the contrasts in this passage. Be quiet/he shouted all the more - blind/sighted - rebuke and invitation - the crowd and the individual - Jesus of Nazareth vs. Son of David and Lord - those who led the way/beggars Look at all the roles we play in this story all the way from rebuker and onlooker to the blind beggar
