Now there on the hillside a large herd
of swine was feeding; and the demons begged Jesus to let them enter these. So
he gave them permission. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the
swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the city and in the country. Then people came out to see what had happened, and when they came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. Those who had seen it told them how the one who had been possessed by demons had been healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them; for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for him.
In Luke’s gospel, we read of a man
possessed by many demons who had been wonderfully restored. In gratitude to the
LORD he wanted to stay with Him to worship Him.
Will you apply Jesus’ words to your
life and tell someone of His grace and salvation – beginning at home? Don’t put
it off. Tell someone about Jesus.
Any place can
be the right place to witness.
