Throughout the Gospels, we hear of Jesus moving from town to
town healing crowds of believers of everything from paralysis to demonic
possession. At each of these events, there are always witnesses who are shocked
by what they see with their own eyes. Sometimes the shock leads to a deep faith
in Christ; other times, the shock leads to rejecting Jesus and sending Him
away.
In the Gospel of Luke, we hear how Jesus heals a man who was
being controlled by so many demons that, when asked his name, the demons
replied, “Legion.” In sending the demons out of the man, Jesus allowed them to
enter a heard of pigs. The pigs couldn’t endure the torment of the demons and “ran
violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.” (Luke 8.33) As with
every healing, many witnesses saw this event and some believed while others
rejected God. The Gospel says, “Then the whole multitude of the surrounding
region of the Gadarenes, asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized
with great fear. Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that
he might be with Him.” (Luke 8.37-38)
Jesus has chosen to stop in your heart today and do some
healing; we all need a little healing from Jesus. One thing remains….how will
you react?
