“He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.” – Mark 7:37 (NIV)

Jesus Heals the Deaf Man

In Mark 7:31-37, Jesus performs a profound miracle: He opens the ears of a deaf man and loosens his tongue so that he can speak.

This act of healing is not merely symbolic; it really happened.

Sometimes, we might rush to spiritualize Jesus’s miracles, but it is essential to remember that these miracles are real, historical events that reveal God’s heart for His people.

God Cares About Our Physical and Spiritual Well-being

This miracle demonstrates that God is not distant or detached from our struggles. He sees our pain and suffering, both physical and spiritual, and He cares deeply about us as individuals.

Jesus knew the condition of the deaf man—just as He knows the condition of each of us.

A Sign of the Messiah

Jesus’ healing of the deaf man also points to the fulfillment of prophecy. In Isaiah 35:5-6, it was foretold that when the Messiah came, the eyes of the blind would be opened, the ears of the deaf would be unstopped, and the mute would shout for joy.

By restoring the man’s hearing and speech, Jesus confirmed His identity as the promised Messiah who would restore a broken world. This miracle is a piece of heaven on earth, a glimpse of the kingdom of God breaking through into our reality.

A Call to Bring Others to Jesus

The actions of the deaf man’s friends are significant. They brought him to Jesus, believing that only He could heal him.

In the same way, we are called to bring others who are hurting, lost, or suffering to Jesus’ feet. Though we cannot heal the world ourselves, we can lead people to the One who can offer true healing, salvation, and restoration.

Jesus does not expect His church to heal the world, but to be a bridge for others to experience His healing touch.
