Mark 5:1-20
The Man's Condition (1-7)
His Home
This man lived among the dead.
He was a sad, lonely, hurting, longing, unloved, unwanted individual.
His Helplessness
His passions were stronger than his ability to control them.
No man could change and control him.
He was a man sold under the influence of the evil in his life.
His Hopelessness
His torment was continual.
Day and night he cried out.
Day and night he was in isolation.
Day and night he injured and harmed himself.
His Helper
Only the Lord Jesus Christ could rescue him.
*******
The Man's Conversion (8-17)
It Was Divine
One word from the Lord Jesus Christ and this man was free.
He was totally and radically healed.
It Was Dramatic
The demons left the man and entered a herd of 2,000 swine that ran down the Sea and drowned!
It Was Definite
The wild, uncontrollable demoniac was sitting down with a big smile on his face.
He wasn't crying out!
He wasn't hurting himself!
He wasn't naked.
He was just sitting there, fellowshipping with the Lord Jesus Christ.
*******
The Man's Commission (18-20)
The Man's Wish
This man wanted to be with the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Master's Will
But the Lord Jesus Christ wanted him to share what the Lord had done for him in his hometown.
The Man's Work
The man arose immediately and returned home.
He began to preach the good news of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.
*******
The Lord Jesus Christ had made a difference in this man.
He can also do the same to us if we will come to Him.
Come!
Come to Him now!
