And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak." (Mark 7:3)
As Jesus was ministering in the region of Decapolis a man was brought to him who was deaf and mute. By the power of God, the man’s ears were opened and tongue loosed. So amazed were those who witnessed this great wonder, they proclaimed: "He has done all things well.” Indeed, what Jesus did and still does is just what we need.
Jesus is truly worthy of such praise for it was well for him to exercise his authority on earth in healing the sick, for such is a pledge of his power to accomplish much more. He did well by his sinless life, for he became the perfect sacrifice for sin. Jesus does well when he frees the sinner from guilt by His shed blood. Every thing Christ does is done liberally, graciously, and mercifully. In view of these things, we must join the multitudes in saying: "He has done all things well.”
Heaven rejoices in Jesus for he does all things well. The hosts of heaven rejoice over one sinner who comes to the Great Physician. The saints rejoice for they have been made kings and priests unto God! Christ’s ability to heal broken hearts has reached down to man and met all of his inner needs. Truly, Jesus does all things well.
These simple words have been repeated through the ages. Jesus heals the sick, renews the soul, and makes us delight in His word and rejoice in his love.
“All the way my Savior leads me; What have I to ask beside? Can I doubt His tender mercy who through life has been my guide? Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, Here by faith in Him to dwell! For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well. For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well.
“All the way my Savior leads me; Cheers each winding path I tread, Gives me grace for ev’ry trial, Feeds me on the living bread. Though my weary steps may falter, And, my soul athirst may be, Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see. Gushing from the Rock before me, Lo! A spring of joy I see.
“All the way my Savior leads me, Oh the fullness of his love! Perfect rest to me has promised, In my Father’s home above. When my spirit clothed immortal, Wings its flight to realms of day. This my song thru endless ages; Jesus lead me all the way. This my song thru endless ages; Jesus lead me all the way.
