Mark 5:1-20
The Man’s Slavery (1-6)
His Master
This man was under the control of Satan.
He was home to a few thousand of demons.
His Misery
This man lived in the tombs.
He was a wild man.
His demons caused him to be self-destructive.
His Mentality
This man ran to the Lord Jesus Christ!
He still had the knowledge of right and wrong!
********
The Man’s Savior (6-13)
The Savior’s Purpose
The Lord Jesus Christ went over to the other side of the lake just to reach him.
What love! What compassion!
The Savior’s Perception
When the Lord Jesus Christ looked at this man, He saw a human in need of heavenly intervention!
The Savior’s Power
The Lord Jesus Christ has more power than the devil!
At His command, the demons left the poor man and entered a herd of 2,000 swine that ran down the side of a cliff and committed suicide in the sea!
*******
The Man’s Salvation (14-20)
Salvation Changed Him
No longer was the man running around, crying out and cutting himself.
Now he was calm and seated beside the Lord Jesus Christ!
Salvation Clothed Him
No longer was he naked, but now he was clothed!
Salvation Calmed Him
Now he was in his right mind!
He had perfect peace!
He has been changed spiritually, physically and mentally!
Salvation Compelled Him
He Was Compelled To Desire Jesus
Now that he was saved, all he wanted to do was to be around the Lord Jesus Christ and do His business.
He Was Compelled To Declare Jesus
He was told to go home and tell those who know him what the Lord Jesus Christ had done in his life!
He went to Decapolis, and started telling people what had happened and it got their attention!
*******
Has the Lord Jesus Christ passed by when you were trapped in the bondage of your sins, and set you free?
Have you experienced His life-changing, sin-killing, bondage-breaking power in your life?
If you haven’t, you can!
If you will come to the Lord Jesus Christ right now, He is here to save.
He may have come this way just for you today!
Will you come to Him?
