And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak" (Mark 7:37, NKJV). 
 
In every sense of the word, Jesus was good and did all things well. People were amazed as they heard Him teach and saw His miraculous works. He was no ordinary prophet; No ordinary man of God. Having returned from the Gentile regions of Tyre and Sidon to the Hellenist cities east of the Sea of Galilee, people approached Jesus, begging Him to heal a deaf man whose speech was also impeded (Mark 7:31-32). Jesus healed the man, and although He commanded them not to speak of it, they spread the word of His great goodness (Mark 7:33-36). Three things impress us about Jesus doing all things well. 
 
(1) See the beauty in all Jesus did. The word they used ("well") of what Jesus did denotes something beautiful. Every work of Jesus was stunning and impressive, bearing the marks of God's powerful presence. Would that the beauty of Jesus be seen in all we do. 
 
(2) See the value of all Jesus did. We do not measure His work in silver and gold, but in the blessings He gave. He lived what He taught, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). The most valuable gift of all was giving Himself for the world's sins (John 10:18). 
 
(3) See the virtue of all Jesus did. His motives were always honest, pure, and holy. Jesus was genuine. His virtuous heart and life are our models as disciples (Luke 6:40). Indeed. Jesus has done all things well.
