The first letter of the following responses gives the name of a blind beggar whose eyes received sight through faith in Jesus. [1] The number in brackets indicates the number of words in each answer. (In some Bibles the answer is spelled with nine letters, so you may not need question 7 for your answer.)
1. Something that must be cast out of the eye in order to see clearly and be able to help someone else. [1]
2. One who lifted up his eyes and saw an appointed place afar off. [1]
3. One who had a sister who was described as tender-eyed. [1]
4. Believers should be expecting a big change at any moment. What phrase is used, in connection with the eye, that gives some idea of the swiftness with which it will take place? [3]
5. Something the eye cannot say to the hand. [6]
6. One whose eye was not dim at the time of his death, though he was an old man. [1]
7. What Jesus did to the eyes of a blind man, with clay He had made, in order that he could receive his sight. [1]
8. One whose eyes were dim at the time of his death; he was also a heavy man. [1]
9. Where was the psalmist going to lift up his eyes, recognizing his help came from the Lord, which made heaven and earth? [3]
10. Who ended his life as a prisoner, having his eyes put out, but accomplished more in his death than he had in his life? [1]
Answers to these questions will be found, Lord willing, in the next issue of Christian Shepherd.
