Lucas 18:43

And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Jesus, as soon as He heard the plaintive cry, stood still in the road and commanded that the blind man be brought to Him. And now willing hands were found without trouble to render the service required. In order to hear the prayer of faith, Jesus asked the man what he desired Him to do for him. The request of the blind man was incidentally a confession, for he called Jesus Lord, confessing Him to be God, just as he had previously expressed his belief that Jesus was the Messiah.

Here was a full confession of faith in the person and in the office of Jesus. In the strength of this faith he made his prayer that he might be able to see, that his eyes might be opened. And Jesus, in the depth of His sympathy for all men, in whatever trouble they may be, spoke the almighty word which opened his eyes: Receive thy sight. His faith had gained the boon of the merciful healing for him.

"As soon as the word sounds: Receive thy sight, he believes it; therefore, what he believed now happens to him. That is the first lesson which we should learn from this gospel, namely, to believe the Word of God with complete, trustful heart, without wavering. " At once he received his sight and followed after Jesus, with his mouth overflowing with praise to God. Trusting in God's mercy and Christ's love for sinners and His sympathy for those suffering in any way from the curse of sin, he was made whole without delay.

E todas as pessoas que viram este milagre também deram louvores a Deus. Nota: Um cristão que recebeu qualquer evidência da misericórdia de Deus, nos inúmeros benefícios conferidos por meio de Deus, realmente nunca tem motivo para reclamar, mas deve sempre ser encontrado com a boca cantando louvores Àquele que o conduziu das trevas do pecado e da incredulidade para a Sua luz maravilhosa.
