We tend to think that some people are better candidates for discipleship than others. In Mark ten we have a parade of possible disciples... the pious Pharisees, the rich young ruler who was keeping the ten commandments, James & John (and the other ten disciples) who traveled with Jesus and wanted prominent positions in his kingdom administration...
But Mark chapter ten focuses on a man who was at the margins of society and who seemed to most to be an unlikely disciple... or at least an unimportant disciple. Blind Bartimaeus was invisible to most - but even though he was blind, he saw that Jesus was the light of the world.
