JESUS THE DIVINE HEALER
BREAKING OPEN THE WORD
JESUS THE DIVINE HEALER (Mark 7: 31-37)
At the heart of our life of faith is the belief that God has the power and desire to enter into our world and bring life where there was death. Prophets such as Isaiah spoke of the impact that the Messiah would have on the life of the people. Through the promised king, God would reach out and set right what was no longer in order, wrongs would be redressed and life would flourish anew in the desert, and in the hearts of the people. How many of Isaiah’s contemporaries would have thought his words were simply vain hopes which would never be realised? How many were disillusioned with their past experience of kingship in Israel?
It was into this situation of need, hope and disbelief that Jesus came. His powerful world and healing touch brought hope and new life to those in need. One of the great ironies of today’s miracle is Jesus’ command that the deaf man keep silent about what has happened to him. Having just found his voice could he be expected not to use it? Mark’s point is that having encountered Jesus we cannot keep silent.
Despite its brevity the letter of James contains some of the most hard-hitting teaching in the New Testament. Today the challenge concerns how the voice of the powerless cannot be silenced in the Christian community. The standards of the world have no place in the Christian community when it leads to a distinction between rich and poor, when a person’s worth and dignity is only measured by their wealth.
