It’s one thing to accept it knowing you did something to earn it or qualify for it… but to do nothing… to be qualified without having done anything? That seems outlandish.

This morning I am going to take us back into the Decapolis… that dark, pagan, Gentile territory just east of the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River. What would a fine Jewish boy like Jesus be doing in a place like this? As we’ll see this morning, He was extending God’s grace to the people who needed it the most.
