"He has done all things well" (Mk 7:31a) Wouldn't we all like this kind of a reputation tagged on to our name? People saw the deeds that Jesus did, "He makes the deaf hear and the mute speak." (Mk 7:31b) and gave their approval. Jesus addressed visible needs and touched people on this level to lead them to receive the message he would later deliver in words. The old adage, "Actions speak louder that words" rings true here, for his miracles gained attention and made people more receptive to his message.
We can do more good, bear more effective witness to Jesus through our good deeds, our acts of kindness, our simple presence, than by long apologetic discourses. Let's keep it simple and pour our energy into our actions rather than into our words.
