Mark 5:15 “And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.”
What a sight that must have been! There was this guy, famous throughout the area for his crazy behavior, sitting “in his right mind” with our Lord. Just a short while before that, he was still in his home amongst the tombs, cutting himself with stones and spewing filth to passersby. Now, he is properly clothed and enjoying some face time with Jesus.
This man went from being controlled by a legion of demons to a close relationship with Jesus! Wow!
How many of us have been controlled by evil? Answer- everyone of us! I have to believe that this man fought against the controlling spirits to turn his face to Jesus, acknowledging who He was and His power. His unclean state was evident, his need for redemption glaringly obvious.
We, too, can be in a close relationship with Jesus, can have Him cleanse us of our demons and restore us. Think about it. Even the demons knew Him, knew who He was. One must be willing to submit to His cleansing to be saved.
