Many of the early miracles of Jesus weren't just about meeting physical needs, but about engaging in liberating individuals from evil's oppression. Mark 5 highlights an individual who was possessed by a number of demons. The story is horrifying because it frames the reality of spiritual warfare. There is a cosmic battle going on right now for the souls of men! In this story, Jesus steps in and brings freedom to the man and destruction to the demons (and the pigs). The miracle reveals the great value of a person as one bearing the image of God. It emphasizes God's sovereignty over all as well. But unfortunately it also reveals that human nature would rather live in darkness than light. Message is part three of the series "The Book Of Mark: Christ Power Over Every Need" and was preached on Sunday, January 22, 2023 at ParkerDC.
