What do we learn from the mute man healed by Jesus?

The narrative of the mute man in Matthew 9 challenges us to consider the spiritual implications of muteness and captivity. The man's inability to speak represents a broader spiritual condition of humanity, which is often muted by sin and spiritual blindness. Jesus' act of healing not only restores the man’s voice but also reveals His power to liberate from the bondage of sin and Satan. When the mute spoke after his healing, it illustrates that those who experience salvation are compelled to declare the goodness of God. This transformation emphasizes that encountering Christ changes lives and enables believers to testify to His grace and mercy.
