Jesus Heals a Blind, Mute Demoniac
The cry of the skeptic is always, “Show me, and I will believe.” However, miracles alone seldom lead to the kind of belief that ends in allegiance. As Luke’s version of this miracle shows us, Jesus’ critics try to explain away this sign by questioning the source of the Lord’s power. The issue is not whether Jesus performed a miraculous sign but by whose authority He accomplished the act. His detractors claimed He tapped into Satan’s power. Jesus challenges their logic and faithfulness by questioning whether they are really interested in God’s Kingdom. Luke records some of Jesus’ most confrontational teaching immediately after this sign. Ironically, the man who could not hear or speak physically is completely healed, while those with their full faculties fail to hear the clear warnings of Jesus’ spoken words.
Questions for Reflection
- What might you fail to hear from Jesus at times?
- What might He be asking you to speak that you'd rather not say?
- Is there a “divided Kingdom” within you that needs to be healed?

About this Plan
Jesus performed many signs, but John recorded seven so that his readers would believe. This plan has the same aim. It presents a collection of miracles that Jesus and his disciples performed, showing us God’s character, His heart toward humanity, and His ability to move on our behalf. Not only that, we have Jesus' promise that through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will do those things and more.
