Matthew 20:29-34 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.… Those that wait upon the Lord in the use of the means and ordinances, they hereby spread their sails, and are ready for the Spirit's motions. which bloweth where it listeth. There is more hope of these than of such who lie aground, neglecting the means of grace, which are both as sail and tackling. The two blind men could not open their own eyes; that was beyond their power, but they could get into the way where Jesus passed, and they could cry to Him for sight, who only could recover it. Those that are diligent in the use of means and ordinances, may sit in the way where Jesus passes by, who uses not to reject those that cry unto Him. (Clarkson.)
