A man had demons.  Jesus came to him and demanded that those demons leave. This man surrendered to Jesus and the demons left. He did not have to ask Jesus to have the demons leave, Jesus acted on His own. The only request made was made by the demon itself.  Legion asked that they not be put into the abyss, but to enter the pigs and Jesus agreed.

After being filled with the demons, the pigs rushed down the bank into the river and drowned. The man, now free from the demons, sat at the feet of Jesus and we can just imagine the conversation.  Then the people from the city came and were afraid of Jesus because of the miracle he had performed and asked him to leave.

The people of Jesus’ day did not understand what He had done, did not understand that He was the Son of God, and did not understand that Jesus had just made this man whole. What they saw they could not believe, so they became frightened and demanded that Jesus leave.

This weekend, Pastor Tom shares more of this story as he talks about “Healing.”  It’s for all of us who have ever hurt, for those hurting now and those who will hurt.  Listen-In or Watch below how healing comes when we open all the rooms in our “house!”
