Story: (PRINT OUT PAGE THREE)
Mark 7:32 - 37
There was once a very lonely man. Although he had two ears, he couldn’t hear anything at all.
He had never heard the sounds that we take for granted. (Ask the children to sit very quietly for a minute and think of all the sounds they can hear.) Most of us learn to talk by hearing other people talking, but as this man had never heard anybody talking, he didn't learn how to make the sounds himself. Sometimes he tried, but he made only strange noises. People soon got tired of talking to someone who couldn’t understand or answer. So the man grew lonely and sad.
But one day something happened that changed everything for the deaf man. Jesus was coming through his part of the country, healing the sick. Somebody must have thought about the lonely man and brought him to the place where Jesus was.
Perhaps one of the man’s friends managed to get through the crowd to speak to Jesus. “Would you put your hand on our friend?” he asked. He can’t hear nor speak properly, he needs help.” “Bring him to me,” said Jesus.
Jesus drew the deaf and dumb man away from the crowd. Jesus understood exactly how he felt. He wasn’t used to being with a lot of people and he was probably wondering what Jesus was going to do. When they were in a quiet, private place Jesus gently touched the man’s ears. Then he touched His own tongue and touched the man’s tongue. At once he knew Jesus was going to help him to hear and speak.
Jesus looked up and breathed in and as he breathed out, He said quietly, “Open!”
Immediately a rush of sounds came upon the man - the sounds of life. It was wonderful. He could hear and he quickly began to copy the words he heard. When he returned to his friends he was a different man. Jesus had healed him and given him the gift of hearing and speech.
