—Mark 5:14-20

I expected the crowd to cheer for the cured man, celebrating Jesus’ delivering him from numerous unclean spirits and then bringing all their sick and afflicted to Jesus. Instead, they were fearful and begged Jesus to leave. They were fine with hosts of demons in their vicinity but not with Jesus. Jesus honored their request to leave but declined the man’s request to depart with Him. Who better to witness to these desperately lost souls than the formerly possessed man they hid away in the tombs? We must minister to those who have turned their backs on us as a testament to God’s transforming power.
