After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue.

Mark 7:33 NIV

Jesus had just healed a small girl without being in the same building, maybe not even in the same town.

And here, Jesus is close.

Touching.

Touching the broken parts of this person's body, and bringing healing. 

To put your fingers in someone's ears you're close. Your breath is mingling.

Jesus spits and touches his tongue.

Jesus DNA is in his saliva.

The man who has not heard, hears. And as he does the only thing he sees is Jesus face 

The man who cannot speak clearly suddenly can...what does he say to Jesus?

This is a glimpse of heaven.

We will be face to face with Jesus, the broken parts of us will be unbroken, we will hear for what seems the first time, and what will we say when we're up close with Jesus?
