Mark 7:31-34 ESV
Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”
The finger of God wrote the commandments of life on the stone tablets for the people of Israel. The people would need someone to teach them the their meaning.
The finger of God now brings the word to each person. The ears of understanding are opened and the word is freely given to the tongue of every believer. It enters the heart and from the heart it flows into the world.
The heart of man is connected to the heart of God by the Holy Spirit. By this we become part of the living water that flows from the throne of God and into the earth like streams in the desert.
The gateway of salvation has been opened.
