  Jesus led him to a private place away from the crowd.  (Mark 7:33 NLT)
   

  There's one thing for which Jesus could not be criticized. He did not seek an audience or play to the crowds. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about some parts of the Church today. Jesus tried to minimize those tendencies whereas those parts of the Church that do play to the audience try to maximize the sensational dynamics.

  Pastors and leaders who regard the morning or evening congregations  as an "audience to be wooed or won" are in grave danger of ministering the wrong way for the wrong reasons.

  
  Having found a private place, Jesus proceeded to go about the man's healing.  But notice the appropriate method He used. Whatever He did in the way of healing seemed to involve words and actions. The man was deaf. Words were worthless. So it had to be done in such a way that was private.

  Even more so, it had to be done.
  God does His deepest work in our spiritual lives because that's the part that that lasts forever.
