“Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear…And Jesus… touched his ear, and healed him.”~ Jn. 18:10; Lk. 22:51
I am sure Jesus restored Malchus’ ear, for why just heal him? The natural process would have taken care of that. Plus, Jesus never did anything halfway, but wholly.
Christ Jesus can clean-up any and all messes we make. But He and He alone must do it. As long as we hang around and try to help, I guarantee, the mess will get worse. I know, for I’ve spent most of my Christian life having Him clean up messes I’ve left behind
Most, if not all our problems stem from an impulsive spirit, like Peter, in spite of the fact the wise man tells us, “Be not hasty in thy spirit.” Nevertheless, being a part of humanity, we are. But praise be to His name, when we do tangle up things, He will unravel them. IF WE LET HIM DO IT!
It is never too late for God to work.
