Matthew 18:26

Fell down and worshipped him - , crouched as a dog before him, with the greatest deference, submission, and anxiety.

Have patience with me - ' , be long-minded towards me - give me longer space.

The means which a sinner should use to be saved, are,

1.Deep humiliation of heart - he fell down.

2.Fervent prayer.

3.Confidence in the mercy of God - have patience.

4.A firm purpose to devote his soul and body to his Maker - I will pay thee all.

A sinner may be said, according to the economy of grace, to pay all, when he brings the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus to the throne of justice, by faith; thus offering an equivalent for the pardon he seeks, and paying all he owes to Divine justice, by presenting the blood of the Lamb.
