Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 9:37-38

"Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him." — John 9:37-38 (ASV)

And Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he who is talking with you. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

That is the way with a genuine believer: he worships Christ.

Why? Because he believes him to be God.

It would be idolatry to worship Christ if he were only a man, and Christ would have been an impostor if he had allowed this man to worship him if he had not been God.

But he was God; and we, believing him to be God, worship Christ as very God of very God, to whom be praise forever and ever! Amen.

And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

He was no Unitarian: "he worshipped him." And you, beloved, cannot help worshipping him who has opened your eyes spiritually.

It is those who are still blind who will not worship him; but once let us feel the touch of his light-giving finger, once let us know that he has shed his eternal light into the darkness of our souls, and we shall not be satisfied with the mere verbal avowal of our faith, we shall add to it our reverent adoration, as this man did when he first said, "Lord, I believe"; and then "worshipped him."
