Bartimaeus doesn't ask for national restoration. He doesn't wanna be involved in a political revolution. He's not attaching his status to his proximity to the king. He's not seeking power through position. But Bartimaeus' faith is personal, and it is persistent, and it is bound by grace, and it is surrendered, and it is transformative. See, following Jesus requires not only believing that he is king, but what kind of king he is.
