What happens when Jesus notices those everyone else ignores? Through encounters with Bartimaeus and Zacchaeus, we discover how Jesus transforms lives by simply stopping to see people as they are. While society valued status and appearance, Jesus demonstrated that God’s kingdom operates differently - seeing worth in both a desperate beggar and a wealthy outcast. As we journey toward Jerusalem this Lent, these stories reveal how Jesus continues to see beyond our labels, meet us where we are, and invite us into transformation. Whether you’re feeling overlooked or searching for purpose, discover how Jesus’ revolutionary way of seeing creates pathways home for everyone.
