Jesus Has Done All Things Well

-March 26, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Wednesday,

“And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, ‘He has done all things well. He makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.’”

(Mark 7:37).

Jesus came into the world to save sinners and change people’s lives forever. The common people loved Him and listened to Him and witnessed His miracles. They reacted as you would expect: “they were astonished beyond measure.”

The people testified of Jesus, “He has done all things well.” Of course, He was rejected by the scribes and Pharisees, whom Jesus rebuked as “blind leaders of the blind, and hypocrites.” But even so, they could find nothing valid against Him.

Can we not also say, “He has done all things well in our lives?” I know I can! He healed the sick, gave the blind their sight, and caused the mute to speak; He cleansed the lepers and raised the dead; He made the lame to walk. He truly did all things well.

Gregory of Nazianzus said of Jesus in A.D. 381, “He began His ministry by being hungry, yet He is the Bread of Life. He ended His earthly ministry by being thirsty, yet He is the Living Water. He was weary, yet He is our rest. He paid tribute, yet He is the King. He was accused of having a demon, yet He cast out demons. He wept, yet He wipes away our tears. He was sold for thirty pieces of silver, yet He redeemed the world. He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd. He died, yet by His death He destroyed the power of death.”

Let us fall down before Him and worship our wonderful Savior. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

Jesus continues to do all things well.
