Sermon on Mark 7:31–37 preached at St. Thomas Evangelical Lutheran Church, Magnolia, Texas.
Jesus takes aside a man who is deaf and has a speech impediment. With His own touch, His own Word, and His own compassion, He opens his ears and looses his tongue so that he speaks rightly. In this miracle, we see what Christ does for us: in Baptism He sanctifies our ears and tongue; in the preaching of His Word He opens them again; and in the Holy Supper He strengthens us with His own flesh and blood.
If you have misused the ears and tongue the Lord has given you, here He restores you again in the midst of His Church, to go forth confessing with the crowd: He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.
