Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 9:1

"And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth." — John 9:1 (ASV)

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

The man could not see Jesus, but sight came to the man from Jesus. If there are any here who cannot look to Christ as yet, our prayer is that he may look on them as he looked on this blind man.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

Therefore, the man could not see Jesus, but the more important matter was that Christ could see the blind man. And you, dear heart, may not yet have learned to look on Christ, but he can look on you in your blindness, and a look from him will speedily work a wondrous change in you.
