What a profound response! The crowds erupt in astonished
praise! They were “astonished beyond measure” at the miracle-working power of
Jesus. This reaction describes the overwhelming and indescribable amazement of
the people who witnessed Jesus' miraculous healing of the deaf and mute man. They
were witnessing this Man demonstrate incredible, never-before-seen power over
the laws of our natural world.
In the midst of their utter astonishment, the people begin
to declare, “He has done all things well.” This statement encapsulates
the perfection and compassion of Christ's actions and teachings, highlighting
His divine authority and goodness. When the people say this, they are
recognizing that Jesus has demonstrated a consistent pattern of doing
everything with excellence, integrity, and purpose.
As we reflect on Jesus' ministry, we see this pattern of
excellence and care in all He did. From healing the sick to teaching profound
truths, Jesus exemplified a perfect blend of divine power and human compassion.
Jesus' miracles were flawless. In everything He did, Jesus displayed
excellence, fulfilling His purpose perfectly.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to follow His example
and strive to "do all things well" in our own lives. This means
living a life of faithfulness, integrity, trust, and obedience to God's will,
and seeking to serve others with the same love and compassion that Jesus
showed.
In practical terms, this might look like being diligent in
our work, treating others with kindness and respect, speaking the truth in
love, and consistently demonstrating a strong commitment to our relationships
and responsibilities. It also means being willing to take risks, face
challenges, and persevere through difficulties, just as Jesus did during His
own life and ministry.
By following Jesus' example and striving to "do all things well," we can become more like Him and fulfill our purpose as His followers. This not only brings glory to God but also has a profound impact on the lives of those around us, as we reflect the love and grace of Jesus in our words and actions.
