The most of men do not listen to the word of God. Only few of them confess the name of Jesus. Men are like deaf and dumb people because they do not hear the Lord’s calling with open ears, nor do they understand the message of the gospel with keeping hearts, nor do their tongues speak to glorify the Lord, but only unclean words and empty, hypocritical praises come out of their mouths. The name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit does not come out of their mouths, for Jesus has not yet untied the bonds of their hearts. Do you look like a mute in the eye of the true faith? Come to Jesus, for he has the ability and the power to free you from your evil, and he is prepared to receive you. Christ wants definitely to open your mind, and save you from hardening against the true faith and the hopeful love that you may become an authorized witness of his great power.
When he had returned from the region of Tyre and Sidon, Christ went to the east of Jordan fleeing from the Jews. His nation is like a deaf and dumb person. They believe they have the word of God in their possession and that they hear it and pray persistently. In fact, they are blind, deaf, and lame, for the Holy Spirit has not yet dwelt in them.
There, Jesus met a sick Jordanian who was brought to him by some believers that he might cure him. Christ treated him with love and much kindness, putting his finger into his deaf ears that he might feel the hand of God touching his head. He spat upon his own finger, and added his divine saliva to the tongue of the deaf-mute man that the power of God might run out into him. Then Jesus looked up to heaven that the sick man might understand that salvation and forgiveness come only from God. When Christ had created in the deaf-mute man the faith in his person through his clear signs and the sense of his love, he moved his lips saying the creative word: “Be opened!” At once, the man was able to hear, his speech impediment was removed, and he began to talk rightly and plainly, without any trouble. And the word of God was the first word he had ever heard.
Today, the Son of God touches the ears of many. He puts his finger on their tongues saying: “Be opened!” His design is to make millions of the people of the world hearers and witnesses rejoicing in the name of the Father. Will you come and bring your friends to Christ’s clinic? He is the Intercessor and Helper. No one goes out, for he is a loving and interceding God.
