Drama in the Decapolis!

 (ID: 2731)

By the time of the first century, the Jewish people had been anticipating the arrival of God’s kingdom for a long time. Christ’s healing of the deaf and mute man, as Alistair Begg explains, was an illustration that the longed-for reign of God had come in Jesus, just as the prophets had foretold. As with this man, God miraculously intervenes in our lives still today, saving us from our sinful condition and unstopping our ears so we can hear His voice.
