Description

“Do you believe in the Son of God?”
John 9:35.
THE man to whom our Savior addressed this question had been born blind, but he had been the subject of one of the
Master’s mightiest miracles and was rejoicing in the possession of his newly-found sight! Our Lord is not accustomed to
doing things by halves, so, having given to this poor man natural sight, He intended to also give him spiritual sight.
Having delivered him from the misery of living in this world in darkness, He would also deliver him from the dense
darkness that brooded within his soul. “Blessed be the name of the Lord, we are never straitened in Him, but only in
ourselves; and when we receive not, it is either because we ask not, or because we ask amiss.” Our Lord had given to this
man His left hand full of minor mercies and now He finds him out with His right hand full of yet richer treasures—
giving to him exceeding abundantly above what he had asked or even thought!
