He Did All Things Well

The benefit of reading the Bible—or at least one of the benefits—is that we come to understand who God is. And in particular, who Jesus is.

The Old Testament teaches us a lot, and the New Testament goes even deeper, describing what Jesus said and did. As His disciples, we follow the discipline of the master. If we’re trying to become like Christ, we need to know Him.

In Mark’s Gospel, there’s this line that’s so simple, and yet such a great reminder: “He did all things well.”

Not “He was amazing at miracles but struggled with small talk.” Not “He preached brilliantly but was disorganized.” Just: He did all things well.

We’re called to follow in His footsteps. What would it look like if someone could say about us: “They did all things well”?

Not just praying well or showing up to Mass with the right mindset, but the way we load the dishwasher. How we answer our kids’ hundredth question of the day. The tone we use in that 3 PM email when we’re already exhausted.

All things. Maybe not perfectly. Not without struggle. But with the same care and presence Jesus brought to everything He touched.

Worth thinking about today.
