John 9:38 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:38

And he said, Lord, I believe
He immediately found faith in his soul, and that in exercise, moving towards, and acting upon Christ, as the Son of God, and true Messiah, for everlasting life and salvation; and as soon as he did perceive it, he made an open and hearty profession of it:

and he worshipped him:
as God, with religious worship and adoration, not only trusting in him, but ascribing honour, glory, and blessing to him, which are due to God only, and not a creature.

38 "Lord, I trust!" he said, and he kneeled down in front of him.
39 Yeshua said, "It is to judge that I came into this world, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind."
