"Jesus is still going about this world speaking that word, Ephphatha!” Trinity 12 — August 22, 2021

What can Jesus do with the deaf and mute? As with all sin and all that sin has corrupted, Jesus comes to forgive and to restore. Forgiveness and life go together. So, Jesus wastes no time. Taking the man aside, He puts His fingers in His ears and touches His tongue, and sighs “Be opened!” And the deaf-mute man’s ears were opened and he spoke rightly. A great miracle has been given to this man.
