29 Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, 31 so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
(Matthew 15)
When people heard the wisdom of Jesus' words, they were amazed at the truth and the authority with which He spoke. Sometimes He gave messages without words. He healed; people witnessed it; they glorified God. God has always spoken well without words in His creation and his providence. For those who were healed, this communication was very personal. But Jesus always joined His nonverbal and verbal communication into one voice. So should we. Though we speak the truth, we often demonstrate something else with our actions. May they both sing in harmony today.
