Mark 7: 37
And they were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."
This is what the people said about Jesus. They were "utterly astonished" because no one had ever done these things.
And He never made a mistake, He was the Expert in everything He did, whether He was teaching, healing, or raising from the dead!
O my Father, please help all Your children to "do the work of an evangelist" in sharing what You have done for them ("the dumb to speak").
And open the ears of those who heretofore have never "heard" Your Good News that Jesus died in their place as the Lamb of God to give them His Resurrection Life ("the deaf to hear").
Father, each one of us lives in "our own little world," our circle of family, friends and acquaintances; please give us Your words to boldly speak to those who don't know You yet.
And enlarge our boundaries, that those we speak Life to will in turn speak to others in their circles, and them in theirs, as ripples on a lake will widen continually until they reach the shore.
Then when we all reach that Heavenly shore, we will be able to meet and know all those who have come there through our obedience to Your charge to us.
And we will be worshiping and giving You all the glory throughout all the Ages to come, forever!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
