28
When He arrived at the other side
In
the region of the Gadarenes,
Two
demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met Him.
They
were so Violent that no one could pass that way.
29
'WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH US, SON OF GOD?'
They
shouted.
'HAVE
YOU COME HERE TO TORTURE US
BEFORE
THE APPOINTED TIME?'
30
Some distance from them
A
large herd of pigs was feeding.
31
The demons begged Jesus.
'If
you drive us out,
Send
us into the herd of pigs.'
32
He said to them, 'Go!'
So
they came out and went into the pigs,
And
the whole herd
Rushed
down the steep bank into the lake
And
died in the water.
33
Those tending the pigs ran off,
Went
into the town and reported all this,
Including
what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
34
Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus.
And
when the saw Hum,
THEY
PLEDED WITH HIM TO LEAVE THEIR REGION.
(Matthew
8:28-34)
We
learn a number of things from this Story.
We learn that Demons know that Jesus is the Son of God.
WE
LEAR THAT THERE IS AN APPOINTED TIME,
The
time when Christ Jesus returns
And
all who have not embraced Him are sent to Judgment.
We
learn that Demons possess some people,
We
should already know that Satan controls the Whole World;
All
but those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE.
Christ
Jesus has absolute authority over Demons,
And He
demonstrated that by Casting them our of the men
Who
were Possessed.
We
learn that in the face of this outstanding Miracle,
The
Whole Town wanted Jesus to leave their region.
Such
is Unbelief.
