John 9:10-11. Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
A very plain story, very well told. It is the story of every soul that gets the eternal light. "Christ told me to believe in him; I did believe in him; and. I received the blessing," There are not many incidents in the narrative, and there is nothing very romantic; but it is a simple and plain declaration of what Christ had done for him; and, blessed be God, just as sight was given to the blind man, Christ still gives salvation to all who trust him.
"There is life for a look at the Crucified One;
There is life at this moment for thee;
Then look, sinner,-look unto him, and be saved,-
Unto him who was nail’d to the tree.
"It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,
But the blood that atones for the soul:
On him, then, who shed it, believing at once,
Thy weight of iniquities roll.
"But take, with rejoicing, from Jesus at once
The life everlasting be gives:
And know, with assurance, thou never canst die,
Since Jesus, thy righteousness, lives."
