Sometimes when a student does a good job on an assignment, the teacher will reward him or her with a gold star. A gold star is a symbol for a job well done. Yet, not every assignment that a student completes is handed back with a gold star on top. Not every
test or paper is done well. Jesus, however, is different. The crowds in today’s Gospel proclaim with astonishment, “He has done all things well” (Mark 7:37). The people are right: Jesus can do only good because He is God, and God is good! In His healing, preaching, and teaching, He does all things well. Even right up to the end as He cries out from the cross, “It is finished,” Jesus does His Father’s will with gold-star perfection. With His death, resurrection, and eventual return, Jesus has done, and will do, all things well. Listen-In or Watch below!
