This man isn't a young man or well man. There is no easy fix until God gave. As He always does.
Mark 7:31-37
Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon,
down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.
32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk,
and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened
and he began to speak plainly.
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone.
But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.
37 People were overwhelmed with amazement.
“He has done everything well,” they said.
“He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
Jesus does what we don't always do. Jesus has taken the time to communicate. And in His Love and attention, Jesus has made the mute speak and the deaf hear. This level of communication requires care.
And Jesus is abundant Life and Living water for this attention and Love.
We hear so much about the man lowered through the roof. This man who is deaf and mute has people praying for him very successfully in Jesus. Abundant Life. Isn't this large intervention as worthy as a trip through the roof to meet Jesus!
Remember during Psalm Sunday, the infants and children cried out for the Glory of God's Only Son.
The people are again astonished and eager to tell about Jesus and the Glory of God.
Even the humility for the miraculous.
Jesus was stretching the Disciples. He didn't explain the mission of today.
Jesus lived the message.
A very good idea to ponder on Mother's Day.
This man isn't a young man or well man. There is no easy fix until God gave. As He always does.
Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being,
sustaining all things by His Powerful Word.
Abba, Father,
All Things are Possible with You.
We will Pray with Hope.
Abide in us. Live Abundantly.
Help us to Seek You First.
Thank You, Jesus. Amen.
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, "With human beings this is impossible,
but not with God;
all things are possible with God."
