Luke 8
Jesus shows us a BETTER Freedom. A freedom that releases us from any
and all types of bondage.
Luke 8: 26-39 => Jesus heals the naked demon-possessed man who
lived in the burial caves in Gerasa.
27 When
Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the
town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a
house, but had lived in the tombs.28 When
he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top
of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the
Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!”29 For
Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many
times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and
kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the
demon into solitary places.
35 and
the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to
Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting
at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were
afraid. 36 Those
who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had
been cured. 37 Then
all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave
them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the
boat and left.
Jesus is proclaimed. God's healing power is proclaimed.
Salvation from bondage to sin and suffering is proclaimed.
Freedom from demonic infestation and enslavement is proclaimed.
New life and resurrection from death is proclaimed.
