Luke 8:26-39

This is in Gentile territory. (No pigs in Jewish territory) It demonstrates to me the openness Jesus had to people of all ilks. The man Jacob encountered was deeply troubled. His maladies had destroyed his relationship with his family and his community. He was exiled to a place of geographical isolation like the interior of his life.

Jesus provides release for this man and gives him the opportunity for restoration to his community. It’s a great story that exemplifies Christ’s mission to try healing and restoration. It’s good for me to remember Jesus’ great compassion and mission. Who and how can I serve in the name of that compassion and healing?

Blessings,
Pastor Ken
