Making Room for a Miracle
Commentators note that before Jesus performed the miracle, the scornful, noisy crowd had to be 'put forth.' This serves as a spiritual lesson: for Christ to work powerfully in our lives, we must first remove hindrances like doubt, fear, worldly distractions, and self-reliance. Jesus often works best not in chaos, but in the quiet space we make for him.
