When He had thus spoken, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle. John 9:6
It was a common experience for the poor, blind beggar to be covered with the spittle of men, as in those days illness and suffering were regarded as self inflicted. This time the spittle did not descend in the usually derisory way, but was used by the Saviour to bring life and light. When others wrongfully criticise and condemn, the Saviour understands, and can reverse your pain, and bring relief and joy.—Brian Russell
O it was kind of Him, blest be His name,
Unto death binding Him, love-drawn He came.—Author Unknown
