Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 8:10-11

"And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee? And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more." — John 8:10-11 (ASV)

Therefore said they to him, How were your eyes opened?

He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to 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 receives 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 you;
Then look, sinner,–look to him, and be saved,–
To him who was nailed to the tree.
It is not your tears of repentance or prayers,
But the blood that atones for the soul:
On him, then, who shed it, believing at once,
Your weight of iniquities roll.
But take, with rejoicing, from Jesus at once
The life everlasting he gives:
And know, with assurance, you can never die,
Since Jesus, your righteousness, lives."
