How do we know Christ came to heal the spiritually deaf?

The miracles of Jesus serve as powerful illustrations of the spiritual realities He came to fulfill. Specifically, the healing of the deaf illustrates His ability to unstop the ears of the spiritually dead. In Matthew 9:32-33, the mute man possessed by a devil could neither speak nor hear until the Lord cast out the evil spirit, leading to his healing. This miracle reflects the broader work of Christ—He not only heals physically but also spiritually opens the ears of His people to hear His word. As Isaiah 35:5-6 highlights, the Lord promises to remove spiritual deafness and enable people to rejoice in His salvation.
