- Jesus had arrived in the city of Jericho which was about 18 miles to the north east of Jerusalem
- The shouting of the people catches the attention of a man sitting at the gates of the city
- Son of David, was a phrase used to denote the messiah
- Though he cannot see Christ, he cries out for Him and for Mercy
- It is by His death on the cross that we are healed, that our eyes are open to the truth of the Gospel, of who Jesus is and our need for Him
