Jesus does all things well!
This is a great passage of scripture that is found only in Mark, but the key verse is found (v.37) and we can learn much about doing things well in our walk with Christ and for Christ.
What is the end result of the passage, I know we have not read anything but this verse as of yet, but what can you know from this verse?
When you think about Jesus has He done anything for you?
Is it just what is promised or more?
I want you to just think about that as we go through this section and we will answer that question at the end.
Jesus is up close and personal and we have seen that illustrated before and will see more of that in our passage today.
Jesus healed a woman’s child because of her faith (Mk7:24-30)
Jesus healed a man of legions of demons (Mk6:20)
Jesus healed Jairus daughter (mk5:21-24; 40-42)
Each one of these were done personally, somewhat privately, not for the crowds but for the person.
Look at our passage today and see how the Narrative goes.
What do you see, what do you notice, what sticks out to you?
The Narrative
The journey continues, Jesus compassion continues, and the results are astonishing.
__________________________________________
The journey continues sometimes in unlikely direction (Mk7:31)
The journey continues in personal fashion (Mk7:32-33)
The journey continues pointing to the Father (Mk7:34)
The journey continues with proven results and purpose (Mk7:35)
The journey continues with some specific direction (Mk7:36)
The journey continues with astonishment (Mk7:37)
__________________________________________________
Jesus leaves from where according to (v.31)?
Jesus is going where according to (v.31)?
(Insert picture Tyre to Sidon to Sea of Galilee picture already saved)
So Jesus is going back to the Sea of Galilee but it seems He is going the wrong direction, He goes North to go South?
Now (v.31) also mentions Decapolis too, so here is a map, and Decapolis consisted of 10 Greco-Roman cities filled with Gentiles and some Hellenistic Jews.
(Insert picture of Decapolis map; already saved on computer)
Remember Legion?
This is where he went to preach about Jesus
So where Jesus is now, is a very populated area, many had already heard about Jesus so it is not amazing there is a crowd at all.
What does the crowd do (v.32)?
Do we try to bring people to Jesus?
If so, how do we do it?
(person, prayer)
Why?
Because of our faith we know Jesus can help.
What does Jesus do (v.33)?
Takes him aside, Jesus touches Him (I’m going to expand on these verses (v.32-34) more in a few minutes
What does Jesus say (v.34)?
Ephphatha!
which in Aramaic mean’s “be opened”
What were the results (v.35)?
ears opened, tongue healed so could speak plainly
What were the instructions (v.36)?
Don’t tell anyone, and it seems the more Jesus says don’t say anything that people say more.
What do you think they were proclaiming (v.36)? - i know it is subjective answer
What was the proclamation (v.37)?
This proclamation was among the crowd who saw the miracle and it was that He does all things well.
Jesus way of treating people
Jesus life was a living example for us.
In our passage we can glean much just from the two verses (vv.33-34) and may we take a few minutes and focus on them.

Jesus gave personal attention
So, the crowd brings this deaf, mute to Jesus and implores healing, implores a touch.
Jesus is the only one who can restore a person to the position and purpose in which they were created for in the first place.
Restoration happens on a personal level so Jesus gives the man personal attention away from the crowd.
What can we learn about personal attention?
Crowd is OK, but what changes lives is the personal touch, from your heart to the persons to lead them to come to know Jesus.
May we always be willing and be giving personal attention to people.
Jesus gave personal attention
Jesus had close association
The crowd brought him, the Lord separated him.
Jesus gave heavenly glorification
Jesus had heartfelt compassion
Jesus meets a person right where they are at so He can communicate with them.
He could not hear, so speaking to him was not going to work, he need to be up close and personal with him
Jesus put his fingers in his ears so the man would know Jesus was going to do something with his ears.
Jesus touched the tongue so the man would know Jesus was going to do something with tongue.
Jesus articulated in anticipation
Jesus did not speak in ways or do things in ways people could not understand; He did and explained so they would understand.
Jesus, through His words is able to communicate with us to the heart of the matter, our problem, His solution and His way.
May we always communicate with people in a manner like Jesus that is in close association to the person; meet them where they are at!

Jesus is glorified, the father is glorified in Him!
