Luke 8:26-39 Swine or Demons


Luke 8:26-39 NIV
Yup, that's how one should react when their neighbor who has been suffering for years has been healed - ask the healer to leave. Jesus kicked the legion of demons, that had been torturing the man for years, out. Rather than destroy them, he allowed them to enter into a herd of unclean animals, which subsequently drowned themselves. Obviously, (I hope it's obvious) the owners of the swine were not Jews; but, gentiles or they would not have been raising unclean animals. They were attached to their livelihood and were understandably upset. But, what would we give to have our neighbors healed - to be made whole?

Jesus ultimately gave His life.

God's Peace - Pr. J
