We are reminded in our lesson that we are formed and re-formed by the works of Jesus. We are by nature sinful and unclean, and apart from the washing of water by the word we remain in a permanent state of uncleanness. But God has cleansed us; He has transformed us to reflect His Son.
Just as the healed man confessed Jesus and reflected Jesus in his own life, we too have that same duty; the duty to live christianly without the fear of the consequences; to live by faith knowing that if Christ can heal using mud and water, so too, can He feed us through ordinary means. For us, the grace of the gospel is visualized in bread and wine and eaten by the mouths of men and women and children. Let us come and taste of the healing grace of our Lord.
