SCRIPTURE

"And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight; thy faith hath made thee whole." — Luke 18:42 (ASV)

Your faith has saved you.

No, surely it was Christ who saved him. Yes, but Christ delights to put His crown on faith's head, for faith always puts the crown back on Christ's head: Your faith has saved you.

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight

Notice the echo. The blind man said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight." Jesus said, "Receive thy sight." With a little turn in the expression, Christ's answer is the echo of our prayer.

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight:

Often, the blessing from Christ's lip is the echo of the prayer which fell from ours. The blind man said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. Echo answered, Receive thy sight.
