Why clay?
In studying the life of Christ I have found something which I find to be very interesting. When healing the blind Christ did several different things. In the first case he touched their eyes and they immediately received sight. In another case he spat on the ground and anointed the blind man's eyes with clay and asked him to wash his eyes in a nearby pool. In the third case the Lord spit in his eyes, and yet he was not wholly healed. So the Lord placed his hands on his eyes again and his sight was fully restored.
So why did the Lord use so many different methods when he healed the blind? Why didn't he just touch the eyes of all the men being healed? Why did it take a 2nd attempt, or extra work in the third case?

Maybe it depends on what kind of blindness they had? Fully blind, severe myopia, etc?
If you remember the centurian that believed his son could be healed without the Savior even coming to his house, but just saying so, then you know that Christ doesn't have to have any method in particular. The earth and winds obey his will. However, those who He is healing need to have faith. Christ knows exactly what thoes individuals needed in order to help their faith.
