His want of moral courage. 3. His reverent acknowledgment of Christ's authority, in which he manifests elementary faith. 4. His willingness to be taught. II. THE TEACHER. 1. His willingness to teach. Christ ever meets the eager and reverent inquirer in this spirit. 2. His willingness to accept imperfect faith. 3. The truths be taught. (1) The need of regeneration.
