Mt 9:32-38
Mt 9:32-38
A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute man spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
Gospel's Commentary
Today we see Jesus fully at work. Not even the demons can stop Him: He simply casts them out. Christ wants to reach everyone and do good to everyone. He spares no effort: “He went around to all the towns and villages.” For God, no town and no person is unimportant.
—Perhaps your heart is a “village.” It does not matter! Jesus wants to stay there too. But He needs you to open the doors to Him. Really? Yes, because the only thing that can stop God is your freedom.
