00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.360
 Heavenly Father, your word is powerful.

00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:10.460
 Through your word you create.

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:16.859
 Through your word you save, turn us into new creations.

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:25.260
 And it is before that mighty word we humble ourselves now and incline our ears.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.439
 Lord, would you speak to us?

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:42.280
 Teach us about your son, Jesus Christ.

00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.859
 And challenge us.

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:50.420
 Change us.

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:57.700
 So we become bold witnesses of the good news we receive from him.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:00.479
 Amen.

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:03.820
 It's in his precious name we pray.

00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:04.900
 Amen.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:10.700
 Luke chapter 8, verses 22 to 39.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:12.400
 Amen.

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:22.040
 One day he got into a boat with his disciples and he said to them, let us go across to the other side of the lake.

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.520
 So they set out.

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:26.740
 And as they sailed, he fell asleep.

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:33.140
 And a windstorm came down on the lake and they were filling with water and were in danger.

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:39.019
 And they went and woke him saying, master, master, we are perishing.

00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:44.400
 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves.

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:45.519
 And they ceased.

00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:47.200
 And there was a calm.

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:51.420
 He said to them, where is your faith?

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.420
 And they were afraid.

00:01:53.420 --> 00:02:00.939
 And they marveled, saying to one another, who then is this that he commands even winds and water?

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:02.620
 And they obey him.

00:02:02.620 --> 00:02:10.759
 Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:17.439
 When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons.

00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:24.960
 For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs.

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:31.240
 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice,

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.460
 What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the most high God?

00:02:37.540 --> 00:02:40.460
 I beg you, do not torment me.

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.219
 For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:47.640
 For many a time it had seized him.

00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:50.920
 He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles,

00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.839
 but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

00:02:57.299 --> 00:02:58.599
 Jesus then asked him,

00:02:59.259 --> 00:03:00.339
 What is your name?

00:03:01.019 --> 00:03:01.879
 And he said,

00:03:02.779 --> 00:03:03.259
 Legion.

00:03:04.699 --> 00:03:06.719
 For many demons had entered him.

00:03:08.019 --> 00:03:11.759
 And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.

00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.919
 Now, a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside,

00:03:17.279 --> 00:03:19.619
 and they begged him to let them enter these.

00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:21.539
 So he gave them permission.

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.960
 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs,

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:29.319
 and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.

00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:33.000
 When the herdsmen saw what had happened,

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.200
 they fled and told it in the city and in the country.

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.920
 Then people went out to see what had happened,

00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:43.620
 and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone,

00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:46.659
 sitting at the feet of Jesus,

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:49.819
 clothed and in his right mind.

00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:51.980
 And they were afraid.

00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.020
 And those who had seen and told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:00.879
 Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.960
 asked him to depart from them,

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.319
 for they were seized with great fear.

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.359
 So he got into the boat and returned.

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.219
 The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him,

00:04:14.699 --> 00:04:16.560
 but Jesus sent him away, saying,

00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:22.579
 Return to your home and declare how much God has done for you.

00:04:22.579 --> 00:04:27.339
 And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city

00:04:27.339 --> 00:04:31.680
 how much Jesus had done for him.

00:04:33.859 --> 00:04:35.360
 This is the word of the Lord.

00:04:37.339 --> 00:04:42.839
 It's not every day that we get to witness something that has extraordinary power,

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:48.219
 something eye-inspiring, so powerful that it's unnerving to be in the presence of.

00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:52.560
 Maybe something like the tornadoes of the Great Plains of Oklahoma,

00:04:52.940 --> 00:04:57.320
 or maybe earthquakes that can topple buildings,

00:04:57.740 --> 00:04:59.760
 as in California or other places,

00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:02.200
 or tsunamis like Indonesia and Japan.

00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:04.580
 When you encounter something like that,

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.340
 it makes you feel so small,

00:05:06.760 --> 00:05:09.540
 and it fills you with fear and wonder

00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:11.560
 because of the sheer power and force of it.

00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:14.300
 And here in this passage,

00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:16.980
 they encounter such force of nature,

00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:20.740
 but they encounter something even more powerful than that.

00:05:20.780 --> 00:05:23.640
 They encounter a person who has power over nature

00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:25.920
 and even over the evil spirits

00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.160
 that can rule a human being.

00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:31.920
 And this passage is intended to confirm for us,

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:33.000
 that's Luke's intention,

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.980
 Jesus' identity as the Son of God and the Messianic King.

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.379
 And in this passage, we learn that

00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:43.360
 as those who have experienced Jesus' saving power,

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:46.379
 we should proclaim what he has done for us.

00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:48.240
 That's really the main point of this passage.

00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.379
 And the passage is divided into two sections.

00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.579
 First section, we see Jesus' power over nature,

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:55.920
 verses 22 to 25,

00:05:56.300 --> 00:05:59.560
 and then his power over demons in 26 to 39.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.279
 First, let's look at his power over the demons

00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.719
 in verses 22 to 25.

00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:08.159
 So one day, Jesus invites his disciples

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.660
 to go and across to the other side of the lake.

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.040
 And verse 23 tells us that

00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.260
 as they sailed, Jesus fell asleep.

00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:21.040
 And the windstorm came down on the lake

00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.640
 and they were filling with water and were in danger.

00:06:24.020 --> 00:06:26.480
 So the lake in view is the Sea of Galilee,

00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:30.020
 which sits about 700 feet below sea level,

00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:32.200
 and it has hills surrounding it.

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.860
 And because of its geographic setting,

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.800
 the cool air rushing down the hills

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:38.620
 would sometimes collide with the warm air

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:39.779
 sitting on top of the sea,

00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.459
 and it would create sudden storms.

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.039
 It's not an uncommon event.

00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:46.920
 And so on this occasion,

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:48.560
 the windstorm that occurred in this manner

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.680
 was so severe that their ship was filling with water,

00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:54.019
 and it was endangering the entire crew.

00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.919
 But interestingly, Jesus was fast asleep.

00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.580
 So verse 24 says,

00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:01.500
 The disciples went and woke him, saying,

00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:03.879
 Master, Master, we are perishing.

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.680
 Their later response to Jesus' miracle

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.360
 shows that they weren't expecting Jesus

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:11.340
 to perform a miracle.

00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:13.960
 Since the ship is about to sink,

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:16.280
 they're kind of indignant that Jesus is sleeping.

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:17.860
 I mean, what is going on here?

00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:19.980
 Surely we could use an extra pair of hands

00:07:19.980 --> 00:07:23.080
 to mend the sail or at least dump some water out the boat.

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:23.500
 Like, what?

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:25.939
 Jesus, Master, Master, help, we are perishing.

00:07:25.939 --> 00:07:28.779
 So this is not a faith-filled response,

00:07:28.899 --> 00:07:30.459
 but it's a fearful response,

00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.319
 a faithless response.

00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:34.060
 And we can hear their panic

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:35.379
 in the way they repeat the word,

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:37.279
 Master, Master, Master.

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:38.660
 We're perishing.

00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:42.500
 And when Jesus is woken up by his disciples,

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.259
 it says in verses 24 to 25,

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.000
 He rebuked the wind and the raging waves,

00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:49.560
 and they ceased.

00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:51.579
 And there was a calm.

00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:52.459
 He said to them,

00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:53.659
 Where is your faith?

00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:55.640
 And they were afraid,

00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:56.460
 and they marveled,

00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:57.680
 saying to one another,

00:07:57.780 --> 00:07:58.760
 Who then is this,

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.760
 that he commands even winds and water,

00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:02.180
 and they obey him?

00:08:02.820 --> 00:08:04.720
 So there's a deliberate contrast here

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:05.460
 that Luke is drawing

00:08:05.460 --> 00:08:07.420
 between Jesus' sleeping

00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:09.580
 and his disciples panicking.

00:08:09.580 --> 00:08:12.000
 That's instructive for our own lives.

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.120
 Look at verse 23 one more time with me.

00:08:15.200 --> 00:08:15.360
 It says,

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.300
 As they sailed,

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:18.300
 he fell asleep,

00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.060
 and a windstorm came down on the lake,

00:08:21.139 --> 00:08:23.360
 and they were filling with water

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.580
 and were in danger.

00:08:25.139 --> 00:08:25.500
 Of course,

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.480
 it's the boat that's filling with water,

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:29.319
 but not the passengers themselves,

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.740
 but by saying that they,

00:08:30.900 --> 00:08:31.560
 the disciples,

00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:32.919
 were filling with water,

00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:34.960
 Luke conveys this kind of sense

00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:36.639
 of present immediate danger.

00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:37.639
 It's an emergency.

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.159
 So the boat was getting swamped with water,

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.279
 and they were feeling swamped

00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:43.279
 and overcome themselves,

00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:45.679
 and so they wake Jesus up urgently,

00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:47.799
 and notice the stark contrast,

00:08:47.959 --> 00:08:48.879
 Jesus is sleeping

00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.219
 while the disciples are getting swamped,

00:08:52.219 --> 00:08:53.000
 in danger,

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.539
 and they say they are perishing.

00:08:56.139 --> 00:08:59.120
 You wonder how they can be in the same boat, right?

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:02.620
 And the contrast is revealed,

00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:04.600
 the point of the contrast is revealed

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.019
 in Jesus' implicit rebuke in verse 25.

00:09:07.699 --> 00:09:08.360
 He said to them,

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.259
 where is your faith?

00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:13.680
 Jesus is identifying the source

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:16.080
 of the disciples' fearfulness

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.480
 as their faithlessness.

00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:21.980
 They panicked whilst he rested

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:26.700
 because the difference is in the faith.

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.000
 The fact that Jesus was with them

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:30.200
 did not keep the disciples

00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.220
 from getting caught in a dangerous storm,

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.820
 and later in Luke's sequel to his gospel,

00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:36.039
 the Acts of the Apostles,

00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:37.259
 the book of Acts,

00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:39.379
 the fact that the Holy Spirit

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:40.819
 is with the disciples

00:09:40.819 --> 00:09:43.159
 does not keep them from getting martyred

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.100
 and persecuted for their faith in Jesus.

00:09:45.779 --> 00:09:47.600
 So the fact that you are a Christian

00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.439
 and that God is with you

00:09:50.439 --> 00:09:52.939
 does not mean that your entire life

00:09:52.939 --> 00:09:54.059
 will be smooth sailing.

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:57.960
 However, the fact that God is with you

00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.259
 does mean that you can trust him

00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:01.779
 and rest in him

00:10:01.779 --> 00:10:04.259
 in the midst of your trials and sufferings.

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:08.980
 Do you feel swamped in your life?

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:10.120
 Do you feel like you're being overcome?

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.500
 Do you feel threatened by your life's circumstances?

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:17.419
 Do you fear that you are perishing?

00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.939
 What you're facing has not caught God by surprise.

00:10:22.940 --> 00:10:27.960
 He's still reigning majestically from his throne,

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.500
 and he has total control

00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:32.960
 over the minutest detail

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.500
 of this world and of your life.

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:40.340
 And that all-powerful,

00:10:40.460 --> 00:10:41.220
 all-knowing God

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:42.799
 is not a cruel tyrant,

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.480
 but he is your loving father

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:46.700
 if you are a Christian.

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:49.559
 He's your gracious helper.

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:52.980
 And it's faith in that reality

00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:54.960
 that dispels fear from our lives,

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.440
 and that faith is the key

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:57.899
 to resting in God.

00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:00.559
 Psalm 121, 1-4 says this,

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:21.899
 The God who made heaven and earth

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:22.759
 is our help,

00:11:23.099 --> 00:11:25.179
 and it's because the God who keeps us

00:11:25.179 --> 00:11:26.439
 does not sleep

00:11:26.439 --> 00:11:28.059
 that we as his people

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:29.179
 can sleep in peace.

00:11:29.179 --> 00:11:32.919
 A faith-filled Christian

00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:34.759
 can, and they still do,

00:11:34.839 --> 00:11:36.659
 get tired and sleep-deprived,

00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:38.199
 but a faith-filled Christian

00:11:38.199 --> 00:11:39.179
 is never restless.

00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:46.179
 So if your life is characterized

00:11:46.179 --> 00:11:47.899
 by restless busyness,

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.459
 a frantic attempt

00:11:51.459 --> 00:11:53.439
 to regain control of your lives

00:11:53.439 --> 00:11:55.039
 that seem to be spiraling out of control,

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:58.539
 or frantic attempt

00:11:58.539 --> 00:12:00.240
 to avoid something

00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.299
 that you dread and fear,

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:06.939
 then let Jesus' incisive question

00:12:06.939 --> 00:12:07.959
 dwell in your mind today.

00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:10.620
 Where is your faith?

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:16.860
 Is God God or not?

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:21.639
 Does he care for you or not?

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.940
 Even when we are manning the ship,

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:29.019
 it's the Lord who is ultimately

00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:31.379
 in control and driving our lives.

00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.120
 Only those who have faith,

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:34.480
 Jesus teaches here,

00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:35.720
 can sleep on a ship

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:36.899
 being tossed to and fro

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:38.080
 by the waves.

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.180
 And Jesus' admonishment

00:12:42.180 --> 00:12:42.900
 of his disciples

00:12:42.900 --> 00:12:43.920
 for their lack of faith

00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:44.680
 in this passage

00:12:44.680 --> 00:12:45.720
 does make it appropriate

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.759
 for us to apply it

00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.300
 to ourselves

00:12:47.300 --> 00:12:49.440
 and encourage us,

00:12:49.520 --> 00:12:49.800
 ourselves,

00:12:49.900 --> 00:12:51.060
 really to trust in God

00:12:51.060 --> 00:12:51.780
 and have faith in him

00:12:51.780 --> 00:12:53.020
 in the midst of our circumstances.

00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:54.180
 But that's actually

00:12:54.180 --> 00:12:55.160
 not the main point

00:12:55.160 --> 00:12:56.139
 of this passage.

00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:57.860
 The main point comes

00:12:57.860 --> 00:12:58.400
 at the end,

00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.480
 verse 25,

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.360
 when the apostles

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.540
 themselves ask,

00:13:02.340 --> 00:13:03.759
 who then is this

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.879
 that he commands

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:06.620
 even winds and water

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:08.120
 and they obey him?

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:10.240
 Because this question

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:11.060
 comes at the end

00:13:11.060 --> 00:13:11.539
 of the section,

00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:12.639
 it's what's emphasized

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.159
 and what sums up

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:15.340
 this entire episode.

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:17.259
 So who is this Jesus

00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:18.820
 that even the winds

00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:19.620
 and water,

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.120
 these inanimate

00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:22.519
 and powerful forces

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.179
 of nature,

00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:24.720
 they obey him?

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.360
 Look again at the language

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.080
 used,

00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:28.879
 verse 24,

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.519
 Jesus rebuked the wind

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:31.720
 and the raging waves.

00:13:31.820 --> 00:13:33.220
 He spoke to them

00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:34.860
 as if they're people.

00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:35.759
 He spoke to them

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.259
 as if they're well-trained pets

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:38.240
 that will respond

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.720
 to his every command.

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:41.659
 It's similar to how

00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:42.960
 Jesus rebuked the fever

00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.120
 earlier in chapter 4.

00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.299
 Who then is this

00:13:46.299 --> 00:13:47.419
 that he commands

00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:48.639
 even winds and water

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.039
 and they obey him?

00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:52.019
 And this is a weighty question

00:13:52.019 --> 00:13:52.639
 because throughout

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.439
 the Old Testament,

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:55.220
 it's God himself

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.019
 who commands winds

00:13:57.019 --> 00:13:57.840
 and water.

00:13:59.139 --> 00:14:00.319
 Psalm 104.3,

00:14:01.179 --> 00:14:02.620
 Psalm 135.7

00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:03.939
 describes God

00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:04.860
 as the one who brings

00:14:04.860 --> 00:14:05.780
 forth wind

00:14:05.780 --> 00:14:06.880
 from his storehouses.

00:14:08.420 --> 00:14:09.800
 Psalm 104.3

00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:10.960
 describes

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.080
 God poetically

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:14.180
 as the one who rides

00:14:14.180 --> 00:14:14.980
 on the wings

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:15.840
 of the wind.

00:14:18.300 --> 00:14:19.180
 Not only that,

00:14:19.260 --> 00:14:20.800
 recalling God's deliverance

00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:22.200
 from Israel,

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:23.580
 deliverance of Israel

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:24.060
 from Egypt

00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:24.860
 through the Red Sea,

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:25.920
 the Old Testament

00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:27.400
 frequently describes

00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:28.940
 God as the one

00:14:28.940 --> 00:14:30.280
 who rebukes

00:14:30.280 --> 00:14:30.960
 the sea

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.360
 and makes it dry.

00:14:34.060 --> 00:14:35.180
 It's God

00:14:35.180 --> 00:14:35.940
 who rebukes

00:14:35.940 --> 00:14:36.300
 the sea

00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:38.480
 throughout Scripture.

00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:40.700
 So when Jesus

00:14:40.700 --> 00:14:41.920
 rebukes the sea

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:43.060
 and it does

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:44.040
 his bidding,

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:46.780
 when the storm

00:14:46.780 --> 00:14:47.740
 calms down,

00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:49.720
 the question

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.519
 is automatically

00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:50.820
 raised.

00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:51.740
 Who then

00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:52.519
 is this

00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:53.220
 that he commands

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:54.300
 even winds and water

00:14:54.300 --> 00:14:55.780
 and they obey him?

00:14:55.900 --> 00:14:56.720
 And the only

00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:57.420
 biblically

00:14:57.420 --> 00:14:58.500
 consistent answer

00:14:58.500 --> 00:14:59.279
 to that question

00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:00.320
 is that Jesus

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.279
 is the Lord God.

00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:04.759
 So do you know

00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.559
 about this Jesus?

00:15:07.139 --> 00:15:08.559
 If even winds

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.580
 and the waves

00:15:09.580 --> 00:15:10.299
 obey him,

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:11.539
 Luke is implying

00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:12.500
 that Jesus is someone

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:13.580
 we should follow

00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:14.940
 and obey.

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:17.659
 And some of you

00:15:17.659 --> 00:15:18.299
 are here today

00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:19.399
 not yet as followers

00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:20.360
 of Jesus Christ

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.179
 but as observers.

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.299
 Considering the teachings

00:15:24.299 --> 00:15:24.980
 and the claims

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:25.419
 of Jesus,

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:27.379
 wondering who Jesus is,

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:29.519
 and these accounts

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:30.559
 are not a product

00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.220
 of people's imagination.

00:15:32.939 --> 00:15:33.960
 The earliest followers

00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:34.700
 of Jesus

00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:35.779
 were not politically

00:15:35.779 --> 00:15:36.399
 powerful

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:37.740
 and following Jesus

00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:38.860
 meant persecution,

00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:40.159
 exclusion,

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.200
 and martyrdom

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:41.980
 for many of them.

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:43.240
 They persisted

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:43.700
 as witness

00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:44.860
 of Jesus Christ

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:45.879
 not because

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.700
 it was socially,

00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:47.559
 financially,

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.480
 or politically

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.240
 advantageous for them

00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:51.059
 but because

00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:51.840
 they had been

00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:52.860
 confronted by

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:54.059
 events like this.

00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:55.840
 And ultimately

00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.419
 the death

00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:57.120
 and resurrection

00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:57.740
 of Jesus

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:59.559
 that forced them

00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:00.699
 to come to terms

00:16:00.699 --> 00:16:02.000
 with who Jesus

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.819
 really is.

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.139
 Who is this man?

00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:09.679
 The Gospel of Luke

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:11.299
 is not a fairy tale.

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:12.379
 In fact,

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:13.159
 from the beginning

00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:13.620
 to the end

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.639
 it has clear marks

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.279
 of the best

00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:17.500
 of Greek historiography.

00:16:19.479 --> 00:16:20.679
 Sir William Ramsey

00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:21.699
 is a 20th century,

00:16:22.099 --> 00:16:23.620
 he was a Scottish

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:24.659
 archaeologist,

00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:25.139
 he died.

00:16:25.699 --> 00:16:26.419
 By the time

00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:27.000
 he died though,

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:27.879
 he was considered

00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:29.500
 the foremost authority

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:30.100
 on the history

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:30.799
 of Asia Minor.

00:16:32.079 --> 00:16:33.379
 And he was trained

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:34.379
 in the Tübingen

00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:35.179
 school of thought.

00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:35.860
 It's the German

00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:36.860
 skeptical thought

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:37.899
 line of theology

00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:39.879
 where people doubted

00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:40.439
 the reliability

00:16:40.439 --> 00:16:41.240
 of the New Testament.

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.559
 That's how he was trained.

00:16:42.959 --> 00:16:43.579
 And he brought

00:16:43.579 --> 00:16:44.600
 that skeptical lens

00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:45.439
 to the Bible

00:16:45.439 --> 00:16:47.039
 not expecting it

00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:48.240
 to have any accuracies

00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.500
 with the decisive

00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:52.680
 bias against it.

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:54.899
 But as he was studying

00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:56.279
 Luke in particular

00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.519
 and the geographical

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.399
 and historical details

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:02.340
 that he included

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:04.140
 and with great precision,

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:05.640
 he wrote this,

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.880
 Luke is a historian

00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:09.519
 of the first rank.

00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.140
 Not merely are his statements

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:13.839
 of fact trustworthy,

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:15.759
 he should be placed

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.759
 along with the very

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:18.640
 greatest of historians.

00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:22.700
 Who do you say

00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.440
 Jesus is?

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:27.859
 Who then is this

00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:28.660
 that he commands

00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:29.599
 even the winds

00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.400
 and water

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:31.619
 and they obey him?

00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:33.279
 Jesus is not just

00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:34.119
 a great teacher

00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:35.259
 or a sage.

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.599
 He claimed to be

00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:37.500
 the son of God

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:38.460
 and his works

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:39.940
 attest to that reality.

00:17:39.940 --> 00:17:42.340
 And if he really is

00:17:42.340 --> 00:17:43.860
 who he said he is,

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.440
 that he is worthy

00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.160
 of our worship.

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:48.120
 He is worthy

00:17:48.120 --> 00:17:48.900
 of our complete

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:49.680
 submission

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.900
 and allegiance.

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:53.660
 And if you're not yet

00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:54.259
 a follower of Christ,

00:17:54.340 --> 00:17:55.279
 I urge you this morning

00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.360
 to come to terms

00:17:56.360 --> 00:17:57.420
 with who he is

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.440
 today.

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:03.140
 Having demonstrated

00:18:03.140 --> 00:18:03.820
 Jesus' power

00:18:03.820 --> 00:18:04.420
 over nature,

00:18:04.580 --> 00:18:06.440
 Luke next recounts

00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:07.160
 an event

00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:07.759
 that demonstrates

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.440
 his power

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:09.360
 over spirits.

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:11.400
 In verses 26

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.180
 to 39,

00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:13.539
 he has power

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:14.080
 not only over

00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:14.920
 the physical realm

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.080
 but also over

00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:17.019
 the spiritual realm.

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:19.779
 When the waters

00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:21.120
 come down once again,

00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:22.080
 it says in verse 26

00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:22.820
 that Jesus and his

00:18:22.820 --> 00:18:23.600
 disciples sailed

00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:24.840
 to the country

00:18:24.840 --> 00:18:25.799
 of the Gerasenes,

00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:26.700
 which is opposite

00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:27.660
 Galilee.

00:18:28.080 --> 00:18:29.000
 And it's important

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:29.860
 to note that this

00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:31.440
 is a Gentile region.

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:33.640
 It's the Gentile region

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:34.480
 opposite Galilee

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.259
 where primarily

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:36.600
 non-Jews lived.

00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.940
 Verse 27 continues,

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:40.440
 When Jesus had stepped

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:41.340
 out on land,

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.059
 there met him

00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:43.320
 a man from the city

00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:44.140
 who had demons.

00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:45.480
 For a long time

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:46.640
 he had worn no clothes

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.860
 and he had not lived

00:18:47.860 --> 00:18:48.860
 in a house

00:18:48.860 --> 00:18:50.759
 but among the tombs.

00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:52.799
 Luke tells us

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.779
 that this stranger

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:55.080
 had demons,

00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:55.920
 plural.

00:18:57.259 --> 00:18:58.100
 Multiple demons

00:18:58.100 --> 00:18:59.080
 have possessed this man

00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:00.700
 and this is confirmed

00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:01.940
 later by verse 30

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:02.620
 as well.

00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:04.140
 Luke does use

00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:04.660
 the singular

00:19:04.660 --> 00:19:05.460
 in verse 29

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.420
 to refer to them

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:07.019
 as a unity

00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:08.140
 in an abstraction

00:19:08.140 --> 00:19:09.920
 of the demon

00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:12.120
 but this is a plural,

00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:13.400
 this is a multiple possession.

00:19:13.620 --> 00:19:14.440
 There are many demons

00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.120
 who have indwelled this man

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:18.980
 and so that's not,

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:20.100
 this is not an ordinary

00:19:20.100 --> 00:19:20.920
 demon possession.

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:22.880
 And as a result

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:24.220
 he went around naked

00:19:24.220 --> 00:19:25.100
 for many years

00:19:25.100 --> 00:19:25.660
 but he's probably

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.940
 covered with scars,

00:19:27.340 --> 00:19:28.059
 no clothes,

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.079
 so much shame

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.600
 and ostracism

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.240
 that comes with that

00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:32.579
 as well.

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:33.539
 And he lived

00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:34.439
 among the tombs

00:19:34.439 --> 00:19:35.579
 so he's really living

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:36.980
 a ghastly existence.

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:38.839
 And the Jews

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:39.379
 in particular

00:19:39.379 --> 00:19:40.500
 considered contact

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:41.259
 with the dead

00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:43.079
 including the tomb

00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:44.339
 and being in the vicinity

00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:44.720
 of the dead

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.480
 it brought ritual uncleanness

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.039
 according to Numbers 19.

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.500
 So the fact

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:51.119
 that this man

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.639
 is living among the tombs

00:19:52.639 --> 00:19:54.139
 highlights this man's

00:19:54.139 --> 00:19:54.939
 uncleanness.

00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:56.399
 Not only is he possessed

00:19:56.399 --> 00:19:57.819
 by an unclean spirit

00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:59.720
 he's ritually unclean

00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:00.679
 he's among the dead.

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:01.779
 Everything about

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.599
 this place

00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:03.660
 and this man

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:04.519
 is unclean.

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:06.339
 And verse 28

00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:06.879
 tells us that

00:20:06.879 --> 00:20:07.879
 when he saw Jesus

00:20:07.879 --> 00:20:08.700
 he cried out

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.500
 and fell down

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.139
 before him

00:20:10.139 --> 00:20:11.980
 and said with a loud voice

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:13.420
 what have you to do

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:14.180
 with me Jesus

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:16.119
 son of the most high God

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:17.379
 I beg you

00:20:17.379 --> 00:20:19.099
 do not torment me.

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:20.759
 Of course

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.460
 this is not really

00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:22.399
 the man speaking

00:20:22.399 --> 00:20:23.539
 but the demons

00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:24.680
 who not control him

00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:26.000
 and once again

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.200
 Christ's identity

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:28.279
 comes to the fore.

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:30.099
 Who is this man?

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:31.639
 And unlike

00:20:31.639 --> 00:20:32.679
 Jesus' disciples

00:20:32.679 --> 00:20:33.459
 who have trouble

00:20:33.459 --> 00:20:34.539
 recognizing Jesus

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:35.579
 for who he really is

00:20:35.579 --> 00:20:36.459
 these demons

00:20:36.459 --> 00:20:37.179
 have no trouble

00:20:37.179 --> 00:20:38.159
 they say clearly

00:20:38.159 --> 00:20:39.159
 he's the son

00:20:39.159 --> 00:20:41.099
 of the most high God

00:20:41.099 --> 00:20:42.539
 recognizing his

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:43.699
 superior authority

00:20:43.699 --> 00:20:44.399
 and power

00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:45.679
 and to demonstrate

00:20:45.679 --> 00:20:46.699
 that they prostrate

00:20:46.699 --> 00:20:47.879
 themselves before him

00:20:47.879 --> 00:20:48.899
 and they say

00:20:48.899 --> 00:20:49.519
 two things.

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:49.939
 First

00:20:49.939 --> 00:20:50.319
 they say

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:50.799
 what have you

00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:51.519
 to do with me?

00:20:52.699 --> 00:20:53.219
 He's saying

00:20:53.219 --> 00:20:53.759
 basically

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:54.179
 Jesus

00:20:54.179 --> 00:20:55.000
 what do you

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.279
 the son of the most high God

00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:57.799
 have to do with me

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.199
 unclean spirit?

00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:00.759
 We have nothing

00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:01.539
 to do with each other

00:21:01.539 --> 00:21:02.460
 so let's leave

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:03.019
 each other alone.

00:21:04.620 --> 00:21:05.080
 Second

00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:05.519
 the demons

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.319
 get more specific

00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:06.720
 and they say

00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:07.400
 I beg you

00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.799
 do not torment me.

00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:10.000
 So they fear

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.559
 some kind of torment

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.500
 something that Jesus

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.559
 can do to them

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:15.200
 and exactly

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.039
 what kind of torment

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:16.500
 is in view

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:17.100
 will be explained

00:21:17.100 --> 00:21:18.200
 later in verse 31.

00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:20.100
 So they were

00:21:20.100 --> 00:21:20.860
 begging Jesus

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:21.400
 this way

00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.019
 and the reason

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:22.620
 is given here

00:21:22.620 --> 00:21:23.920
 for he had commanded

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:24.740
 the unclean spirit

00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:25.680
 to come out of the man

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.180
 for many a time

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:28.240
 it had seized him

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.660
 he was kept under guard

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:30.660
 and bound with chains

00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:31.220
 and shackles

00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:32.400
 but he would break the bonds

00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:33.620
 and be driven by the demon

00:21:33.620 --> 00:21:34.460
 into the desert.

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.240
 So Jesus

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:36.880
 had commanded

00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:37.500
 the unclean spirit

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:38.700
 to come out of the man

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.640
 which suggests

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.120
 that the demon

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:41.339
 was inside the man

00:21:41.339 --> 00:21:41.819
 and the demon

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:42.740
 was begging Jesus

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:43.920
 not to torment him

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.940
 after he comes out.

00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.519
 So Luke gives us

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:47.180
 further details

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.680
 in verses 30 to 31

00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.319
 but before he does that

00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:50.700
 just

00:21:50.700 --> 00:21:51.579
 just

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.740
 for a moment

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:54.559
 he tells us

00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:55.559
 how unmanageable

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.579
 this demoniac

00:21:56.579 --> 00:21:57.480
 really was.

00:21:59.019 --> 00:21:59.679
 The demon

00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:00.119
 it seems

00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:00.939
 there were cycles

00:22:00.939 --> 00:22:01.579
 of possessions

00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:03.359
 he took over

00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.240
 this man's life

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:05.379
 on many occasions

00:22:05.379 --> 00:22:05.879
 and even though

00:22:05.879 --> 00:22:06.720
 people tried to

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.599
 restrain him

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:08.639
 with shackles

00:22:08.639 --> 00:22:09.279
 chains

00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:10.159
 literally

00:22:10.159 --> 00:22:12.179
 they tried to

00:22:12.179 --> 00:22:12.859
 tame him

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:14.579
 put him under guard

00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:15.279
 they put guards

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:15.879
 on him

00:22:15.879 --> 00:22:17.339
 yet this man

00:22:17.339 --> 00:22:18.259
 with some kind

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:19.419
 of superhuman strength

00:22:19.419 --> 00:22:20.199
 probably demonic

00:22:20.199 --> 00:22:21.419
 would break the bonds

00:22:21.419 --> 00:22:22.419
 and be driven

00:22:22.419 --> 00:22:23.319
 by the demon

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:24.619
 into the desert.

00:22:24.619 --> 00:22:26.439
 this man

00:22:26.439 --> 00:22:27.619
 was uncontrollable

00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:28.139
 because he was

00:22:28.139 --> 00:22:29.019
 controlled by a demon

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:32.179
 but Jesus does

00:22:32.179 --> 00:22:33.159
 hear what was

00:22:33.159 --> 00:22:33.699
 previously

00:22:33.699 --> 00:22:34.939
 unimaginable

00:22:34.939 --> 00:22:36.359
 he holds

00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:37.099
 a seemingly

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:38.359
 sane conversation

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:39.199
 with this man

00:22:39.199 --> 00:22:41.159
 or rather

00:22:41.159 --> 00:22:41.739
 with the demons

00:22:41.739 --> 00:22:42.599
 controlling the man

00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:43.839
 it says in verse 30

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:45.799
 Jesus then asked him

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:47.079
 what is your name?

00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:53.359
 some people

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:54.220
 make much

00:22:54.220 --> 00:22:54.639
 of this

00:22:54.639 --> 00:22:55.759
 dialogue

00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:56.720
 people who are

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.119
 I think

00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:57.779
 maybe a little bit

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:58.460
 too fascinated

00:22:58.460 --> 00:22:59.480
 with demons

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:00.359
 and exercising demons

00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:00.759
 they say

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.559
 this is the process

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:02.019
 you're supposed

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.960
 to name them first

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.000
 and then you can

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.619
 control them

00:23:04.619 --> 00:23:05.339
 that's not

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:06.419
 what this is about

00:23:06.419 --> 00:23:06.819
 at all

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:08.220
 there are many

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:08.819
 occasions when

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.639
 Jesus simply

00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:10.359
 expels demons

00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:10.899
 without naming

00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:11.639
 them at all

00:23:11.639 --> 00:23:12.579
 that's not what's

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.259
 going on here

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:14.480
 but it does show

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.720
 Jesus' power

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:16.599
 and his complete

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.639
 peace and control

00:23:17.639 --> 00:23:18.579
 over this situation

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:20.299
 you think

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:21.039
 when you're faced

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:21.599
 with such a

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.559
 terrifying human

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:23.039
 being

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:24.579
 you immediately

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:25.039
 try to do

00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:25.379
 something

00:23:25.379 --> 00:23:25.740
 but here

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:26.519
 Jesus has no

00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:27.279
 he's not in a

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.500
 hurry

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:30.099
 he's not fearful

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:32.319
 what is your name?

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:33.699
 and he says

00:23:33.699 --> 00:23:34.179
 legion

00:23:34.179 --> 00:23:35.000
 for many demons

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.099
 had entered him

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:37.659
 the word legion

00:23:37.659 --> 00:23:38.639
 comes from the

00:23:38.639 --> 00:23:39.199
 Latin word

00:23:39.199 --> 00:23:39.980
 for a military

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.759
 unit made up

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.399
 of a thousand

00:23:41.399 --> 00:23:41.980
 soldiers

00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:44.439
 we don't know

00:23:44.439 --> 00:23:45.199
 if that's literal

00:23:45.199 --> 00:23:45.539
 here

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:46.179
 that this is

00:23:46.180 --> 00:23:46.600
 literally a

00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:47.120
 thousand demons

00:23:47.120 --> 00:23:47.620
 but there's

00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:48.380
 definitely a lot

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:48.980
 of demons

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:51.299
 and this name

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:52.400
 introduces the

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:52.960
 element of

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.140
 spiritual warfare

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:55.400
 what's happening

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:55.720
 here

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:56.259
 what we're

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:56.900
 viewing right

00:23:56.900 --> 00:23:57.700
 now is a

00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:58.320
 form of

00:23:58.320 --> 00:23:59.680
 spiritual warfare

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:00.840
 here is literally

00:24:00.840 --> 00:24:01.620
 an army

00:24:01.620 --> 00:24:02.880
 a thousand unit

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:03.400
 legion

00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:04.220
 army of

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.920
 demons

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:06.160
 and here's

00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:06.640
 Jesus

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:08.120
 our champion

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:10.240
 and you

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:11.140
 would expect

00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:12.360
 an epic battle

00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:14.359
 but there's

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:14.959
 no fight

00:24:14.959 --> 00:24:17.099
 only a brief

00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:17.619
 discussion

00:24:17.619 --> 00:24:18.219
 of the

00:24:18.219 --> 00:24:18.719
 terms of

00:24:18.719 --> 00:24:19.179
 surrender

00:24:19.179 --> 00:24:24.079
 demon says

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:24.419
 in verse

00:24:24.419 --> 00:24:24.899
 28

00:24:24.899 --> 00:24:25.939
 he said

00:24:25.939 --> 00:24:26.339
 in 28

00:24:26.339 --> 00:24:26.939
 I beg you

00:24:26.939 --> 00:24:27.240
 do not

00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:27.939
 torment me

00:24:27.939 --> 00:24:29.079
 he now

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:29.659
 elaborates

00:24:29.659 --> 00:24:29.919
 in verse

00:24:29.919 --> 00:24:30.339
 31

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:31.319
 they begged

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:31.799
 him not

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.479
 to command

00:24:32.479 --> 00:24:32.939
 them to

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.459
 depart

00:24:33.459 --> 00:24:34.099
 into

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:34.659
 the

00:24:34.659 --> 00:24:35.279
 abyss

00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:37.240
 so the

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:37.579
 torment

00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:37.960
 that they

00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:38.379
 feared

00:24:38.379 --> 00:24:38.779
 is some

00:24:38.779 --> 00:24:39.299
 kind of

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:39.940
 confinement

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:41.099
 in what

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:41.579
 is called

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:42.099
 the abyss

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:42.619
 we don't

00:24:42.619 --> 00:24:43.160
 know exactly

00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:43.639
 what the

00:24:43.639 --> 00:24:43.980
 abyss

00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:44.759
 is

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.039
 but

00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:47.180
 2 Peter

00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:47.839
 chapter 2

00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:48.420
 verse 4

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:49.319
 does mention

00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:50.019
 a place

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.440
 called the

00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:51.099
 chains of

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:51.460
 gloomy

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:51.940
 darkness

00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:52.660
 where

00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:53.420
 disobedient

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:53.940
 angels are

00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:54.660
 kept until

00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:55.160
 the final

00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:55.559
 judgment

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.399
 it seems

00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:58.099
 that that's

00:24:58.099 --> 00:24:58.799
 maybe what

00:24:58.799 --> 00:24:59.559
 the legion

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:00.519
 is fearing

00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:01.160
 and seeking

00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:01.680
 to avoid

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:02.480
 please don't

00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:03.119
 send us

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:04.059
 to the

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:04.519
 abyss

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:05.559
 it's a

00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:06.079
 remarkable

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:06.619
 display

00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:07.059
 of Jesus

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:07.500
 power

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:08.859
 here is

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:09.299
 an army

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:09.859
 of demons

00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:10.599
 and here's

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:11.000
 a demonic

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.500
 whom no

00:25:11.500 --> 00:25:11.960
 man could

00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:12.460
 control

00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:13.079
 and here

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.200
 he is

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:14.859
 prostrate

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:15.559
 before Jesus

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.759
 begging him

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.660
 and verses

00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:20.299
 32 to

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.680
 33

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.319
 continue the

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:21.619
 story

00:25:21.619 --> 00:25:22.220
 now a

00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:22.779
 large herd

00:25:22.779 --> 00:25:23.200
 of pigs

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:23.819
 was feeding

00:25:23.819 --> 00:25:24.299
 there on

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.960
 the hillside

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.539
 and they

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:26.079
 begged him

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.500
 to let

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:27.220
 them enter

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:27.639
 these

00:25:27.639 --> 00:25:28.819
 so he

00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:29.240
 gave them

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:29.759
 permission

00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:31.059
 then the

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:31.379
 demons

00:25:31.379 --> 00:25:31.879
 came out

00:25:31.879 --> 00:25:32.099
 of the

00:25:32.099 --> 00:25:32.339
 man

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:33.059
 and entered

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:33.700
 the pigs

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:35.140
 and the

00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:35.340
 herd

00:25:35.340 --> 00:25:35.779
 rushed

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:36.160
 down

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.340
 the

00:25:36.340 --> 00:25:36.600
 steep

00:25:36.600 --> 00:25:36.940
 banks

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:37.279
 into

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.460
 the

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:37.740
 lake

00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:38.120
 and

00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:38.620
 drowned

00:25:38.620 --> 00:25:40.500
 anything's

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:40.840
 better than

00:25:40.840 --> 00:25:41.360
 the abyss

00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:42.420
 since Jesus

00:25:42.420 --> 00:25:43.059
 will not let

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.500
 them indwell

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:43.920
 a man

00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:44.299
 they will

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:44.860
 settle for

00:25:44.860 --> 00:25:45.319
 indwelling

00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:46.200
 animals

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:47.019
 and they

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.720
 begged Jesus

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.039
 for the

00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:48.380
 permission

00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:48.799
 to do

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.160
 so

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:49.920
 so and

00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:50.240
 we're not

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:50.920
 told why

00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:51.840
 Jesus gives

00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:52.100
 them

00:25:52.100 --> 00:25:52.580
 permission

00:25:52.580 --> 00:25:54.160
 but the

00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:54.620
 fact that

00:25:54.620 --> 00:25:55.360
 Jesus is

00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:55.840
 in the

00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:56.420
 position of

00:25:56.420 --> 00:25:56.860
 giving out

00:25:56.860 --> 00:25:57.059
 these

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:57.420
 permission

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:57.779
 slips

00:25:57.779 --> 00:25:58.220
 to these

00:25:58.220 --> 00:25:58.500
 demon

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:59.000
 armies

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.840
 serves

00:25:59.840 --> 00:26:00.360
 to reveal

00:26:00.360 --> 00:26:00.759
 Jesus

00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:01.460
 extent

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:02.160
 the extent

00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.500
 of his

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:03.000
 authority

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:04.140
 these

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:04.579
 powerful

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:04.960
 demons

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.480
 can't

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:05.799
 even

00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:06.140
 enter

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:06.359
 the

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:06.839
 pigs

00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.720
 without

00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:09.160
 Jesus'

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:09.920
 express

00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:10.619
 permission

00:26:10.619 --> 00:26:12.279
 so the

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:12.539
 demons

00:26:12.539 --> 00:26:13.119
 enter the

00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:13.380
 pigs

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:13.920
 and drive

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.180
 them

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:14.640
 down the

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:14.880
 steep

00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:15.079
 bank

00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:15.259
 into

00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:15.420
 the

00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:15.680
 lake

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:16.299
 and

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:16.539
 some

00:26:16.539 --> 00:26:16.839
 people

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:17.240
 get to

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.539
 this

00:26:17.539 --> 00:26:17.900
 point

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.119
 of the

00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:18.440
 story

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:18.579
 and

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:18.720
 they

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.160
 think

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:20.160
 poor

00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:20.680
 pigs

00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:25.579
 but that's

00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:26.000
 to miss

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:26.480
 the point

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:26.740
 of the

00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:27.119
 story

00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.279
 first

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:29.539
 these

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:29.920
 pigs

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:30.420
 are a

00:26:30.420 --> 00:26:30.799
 visual

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.359
 representation

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:31.919
 of the

00:26:31.919 --> 00:26:32.479
 havoc

00:26:32.479 --> 00:26:33.299
 that the

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:33.679
 demons

00:26:33.679 --> 00:26:34.319
 were wreaking

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:35.059
 inside

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.759
 the man

00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.019
 so our

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:37.919
 first instinct

00:26:37.919 --> 00:26:38.379
 should be

00:26:38.379 --> 00:26:39.000
 praise

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.019
 and rejoicing

00:26:40.019 --> 00:26:40.619
 at the

00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:41.019
 man's

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:41.719
 deliverance

00:26:41.719 --> 00:26:42.039
 and not

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:42.419
 lament

00:26:42.419 --> 00:26:42.839
 for the

00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:43.240
 pigs

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:45.240
 God cares

00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:45.619
 about the

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:46.000
 animals

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.539
 yes

00:26:46.539 --> 00:26:48.079
 that much

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.539
 is clear

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:48.799
 from

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.079
 Jonah

00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:49.579
 411

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:50.039
 when God

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:50.619
 says that

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:51.439
 the numerous

00:26:51.439 --> 00:26:52.099
 cattle in

00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:52.399
 the city

00:26:52.399 --> 00:26:52.919
 of Nineveh

00:26:52.919 --> 00:26:53.699
 is one of

00:26:53.699 --> 00:26:54.079
 the reasons

00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:54.439
 why he

00:26:54.439 --> 00:26:54.759
 didn't want

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:55.159
 to destroy

00:26:55.159 --> 00:26:55.419
 it in the

00:26:55.419 --> 00:26:55.819
 first place

00:26:55.819 --> 00:26:56.359
 he cares

00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:57.119
 about the

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:57.579
 animals

00:26:57.579 --> 00:27:00.599
 but no

00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:01.139
 creature

00:27:01.139 --> 00:27:02.159
 in this

00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:02.799
 world

00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:03.399
 compares

00:27:03.399 --> 00:27:04.639
 to the

00:27:04.639 --> 00:27:05.059
 value

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:05.819
 of a

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:06.119
 human

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.599
 being

00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:07.219
 created

00:27:07.219 --> 00:27:07.539
 in the

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:07.839
 image

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.279
 of God

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.219
 there's

00:27:11.219 --> 00:27:11.819
 no question

00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:12.299
 what's

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.459
 more

00:27:12.459 --> 00:27:12.779
 important

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:13.000
 no

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:13.539
 hesitation

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:17.539
 second

00:27:17.539 --> 00:27:18.799
 these

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.159
 pigs

00:27:19.159 --> 00:27:19.899
 are in

00:27:19.899 --> 00:27:20.019
 a

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.359
 Gentile

00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:20.719
 region

00:27:20.719 --> 00:27:21.859
 Jews

00:27:21.859 --> 00:27:22.059
 wouldn't

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.219
 even

00:27:22.219 --> 00:27:22.539
 keep

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:22.839
 them

00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:23.619
 so

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:24.079
 presumably

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:24.359
 they're

00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:24.539
 being

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:24.819
 raised

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:25.240
 for human

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:25.719
 consumption

00:27:25.719 --> 00:27:26.159
 anyway

00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:27.700
 they just

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:28.040
 died a

00:27:28.040 --> 00:27:28.140
 little

00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:28.480
 early

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.600
 the humans

00:27:29.600 --> 00:27:29.800
 get

00:27:29.800 --> 00:27:30.600
 they miss

00:27:30.600 --> 00:27:30.860
 out

00:27:30.860 --> 00:27:32.140
 and the

00:27:32.140 --> 00:27:32.380
 third

00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:32.620
 thing

00:27:32.620 --> 00:27:32.960
 is that

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:33.160
 Luke

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:33.600
 is making

00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:34.140
 a larger

00:27:34.140 --> 00:27:34.680
 narrative

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:35.140
 point

00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:36.519
 since the

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:37.019
 Old Testament

00:27:37.019 --> 00:27:37.560
 scriptures

00:27:37.560 --> 00:27:38.900
 categorize

00:27:38.900 --> 00:27:39.440
 pigs

00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:40.300
 also as

00:27:40.300 --> 00:27:40.800
 ritually

00:27:40.800 --> 00:27:41.800
 unclean

00:27:41.800 --> 00:27:43.400
 and therefore

00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:44.259
 unfit

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:45.259
 for Jews

00:27:45.259 --> 00:27:45.840
 to consume

00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:47.660
 the biblical

00:27:47.660 --> 00:27:48.200
 reason for

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:48.540
 this is

00:27:48.540 --> 00:27:48.920
 given in

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.400
 Leviticus

00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:49.860
 11

00:27:49.860 --> 00:27:51.080
 7

00:27:51.080 --> 00:27:52.720
 and the

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.080
 pig

00:27:53.080 --> 00:27:54.440
 because it

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.000
 parts the

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.259
 hoof

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:55.900
 and is

00:27:55.900 --> 00:27:56.299
 cloven

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:56.799
 footed

00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.920
 but does

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.140
 not

00:27:58.140 --> 00:27:58.379
 chew

00:27:58.379 --> 00:27:58.539
 the

00:27:58.539 --> 00:27:58.859
 cud

00:27:58.859 --> 00:27:59.680
 is

00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:00.500
 unclean

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:01.200
 to

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.480
 you

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:02.920
 that's

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.160
 not the

00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:03.579
 reason why

00:28:03.579 --> 00:28:03.980
 we normally

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:04.379
 think of

00:28:04.379 --> 00:28:04.740
 them as

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:05.220
 unclean

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.480
 right

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.119
 pigs still

00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:06.420
 have the

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:06.859
 reputation

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:07.240
 of being

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.599
 unclean

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:07.960
 nowadays

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.259
 and that's

00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:09.700
 because they

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:10.119
 don't really

00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:10.539
 sweat

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:11.460
 so they

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.759
 need to

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.379
 cool their

00:28:12.379 --> 00:28:12.920
 body down

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.480
 by regulating

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:14.019
 temperature

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.740
 by wallowing

00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:15.379
 basically taking

00:28:15.379 --> 00:28:16.579
 mud baths

00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:17.220
 so we think

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:17.500
 that they're

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:17.859
 unclean

00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:18.240
 because of

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:18.339
 it

00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:18.819
 but apparently

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.200
 as I was

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.559
 doing some

00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:20.200
 research about

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.480
 this

00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:21.119
 they're one

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:21.279
 of the

00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:21.619
 cleanest

00:28:21.619 --> 00:28:22.000
 animals

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:22.400
 around

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.180
 unlike dogs

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:25.620
 and cats

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:26.360
 that like to

00:28:26.360 --> 00:28:27.500
 pee and poop

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:28.040
 in their living

00:28:28.040 --> 00:28:28.560
 quarters and

00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:29.160
 eating quarters

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:29.820
 actually pigs

00:28:29.820 --> 00:28:30.540
 will refuse to

00:28:30.540 --> 00:28:30.840
 do that

00:28:30.840 --> 00:28:31.259
 unless they

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:31.700
 have to

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:32.900
 and so

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:34.000
 pigs are

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.800
 apparently clean

00:28:34.800 --> 00:28:35.440
 animals in that

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:35.720
 sense

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:36.759
 hygienically clean

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:37.820
 but they're

00:28:37.820 --> 00:28:38.740
 ritually unclean

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.500
 and that's the

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:40.140
 larger point

00:28:40.140 --> 00:28:41.740
 and why are they

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.560
 ritually unclean

00:28:42.560 --> 00:28:43.300
 and the reason is

00:28:43.300 --> 00:28:44.360
 kind of puzzling

00:28:44.360 --> 00:28:44.580
 right

00:28:44.580 --> 00:28:45.259
 Leviticus 11

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:45.780
 said because

00:28:45.780 --> 00:28:46.940
 they part the

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:47.740
 hoof but it's

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.340
 cloven footed

00:28:48.340 --> 00:28:48.820
 and does not

00:28:48.820 --> 00:28:49.140
 chew the

00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:49.360
 cud

00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:50.439
 and the reason

00:28:50.439 --> 00:28:50.939
 is this

00:28:50.939 --> 00:28:51.619
 it's that

00:28:51.619 --> 00:28:52.319
 they are

00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:53.019
 a deviation

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:54.019
 from God's

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:55.000
 creative design

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.279
 animals that

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:58.199
 have parted

00:28:58.199 --> 00:28:58.719
 who were

00:28:58.719 --> 00:28:59.439
 supposed to

00:28:59.439 --> 00:28:59.799
 chew the

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:00.119
 cud

00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:01.479
 that's the

00:29:01.479 --> 00:29:02.459
 type of

00:29:02.459 --> 00:29:02.819
 animal

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:03.379
 the category

00:29:03.379 --> 00:29:03.699
 that they

00:29:03.699 --> 00:29:04.379
 belong to

00:29:04.379 --> 00:29:05.500
 and because

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:05.879
 it's a

00:29:05.879 --> 00:29:06.599
 hybrid of

00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:06.899
 that

00:29:06.899 --> 00:29:07.919
 it represents

00:29:07.919 --> 00:29:08.579
 a deviation

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:09.899
 of God's

00:29:09.899 --> 00:29:10.359
 creation

00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:10.919
 design

00:29:10.919 --> 00:29:11.759
 and of

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:12.019
 course

00:29:12.019 --> 00:29:12.659
 this is

00:29:12.659 --> 00:29:13.479
 intended to

00:29:13.479 --> 00:29:13.919
 teach a

00:29:13.919 --> 00:29:14.579
 larger lesson

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:14.959
 for the

00:29:14.959 --> 00:29:15.479
 people of

00:29:15.479 --> 00:29:15.779
 God

00:29:15.779 --> 00:29:16.859
 the Jews

00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:18.159
 he's teaching

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:18.679
 them that

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:19.299
 as a

00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:19.620
 chosen

00:29:19.620 --> 00:29:20.180
 people of

00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:20.440
 God

00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:20.840
 that you

00:29:20.840 --> 00:29:21.160
 ought to

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:21.580
 be set

00:29:21.580 --> 00:29:22.019
 apart

00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:22.820
 and you

00:29:22.820 --> 00:29:23.120
 ought to

00:29:23.120 --> 00:29:23.759
 be clean

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:24.440
 and you

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:24.700
 ought to

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:25.220
 live in a

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:25.680
 manner that's

00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:26.580
 consistent with

00:29:26.580 --> 00:29:26.920
 God's

00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:27.759
 creative design

00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:28.779
 unlike these

00:29:28.779 --> 00:29:29.380
 Gentiles

00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:29.840
 unlike the

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:30.180
 rest of the

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:30.560
 nations

00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:31.560
 and that's

00:29:31.560 --> 00:29:32.039
 the lesson

00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:32.620
 that these

00:29:32.620 --> 00:29:33.000
 dietary

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.519
 restrictions

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:34.100
 convey

00:29:34.100 --> 00:29:35.380
 these are

00:29:35.380 --> 00:29:35.820
 unclean

00:29:35.820 --> 00:29:36.160
 they're not

00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:36.920
 consistent with

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.259
 the creative

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:37.680
 design of

00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:37.920
 God

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:40.580
 so Luke is

00:29:40.580 --> 00:29:41.019
 making a

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:41.600
 larger point

00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:42.279
 that it's

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:42.580
 and it's

00:29:42.580 --> 00:29:43.240
 no accident

00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:43.820
 that Jesus

00:29:43.820 --> 00:29:44.960
 enters a

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.519
 Gentile

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:46.060
 region

00:29:46.060 --> 00:29:47.420
 encounters a

00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:47.900
 demoniac

00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:48.480
 who lives

00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.180
 among the

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:49.620
 tombs

00:29:49.620 --> 00:29:49.980
 which is

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:50.779
 unclean

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.279
 who is

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:51.559
 possessed

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:52.160
 by an

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:52.839
 unclean

00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:53.319
 spirit

00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:53.880
 expressly

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.519
 described that

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:54.720
 way in

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:55.299
 verse 29

00:29:55.299 --> 00:29:56.460
 and so

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:57.019
 that they

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:58.120
 and expels

00:29:58.120 --> 00:29:58.420
 them to

00:29:58.420 --> 00:29:59.000
 enter the

00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.579
 unclean

00:29:59.579 --> 00:30:00.200
 pigs

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:01.319
 when they

00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:02.360
 go off the

00:30:02.360 --> 00:30:02.640
 cliff

00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:03.039
 and they

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:03.400
 die

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:06.599
 Jesus

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:07.819
 is driving

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:08.579
 out

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:09.960
 uncleanness

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:11.259
 from

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:12.319
 this

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:12.759
 Gentile

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:13.079
 region

00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:15.539
 he is

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:15.879
 bringing

00:30:15.879 --> 00:30:16.579
 even

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:17.039
 the

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.740
 Gentiles

00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:18.179
 from

00:30:18.179 --> 00:30:18.399
 the

00:30:18.399 --> 00:30:18.939
 nations

00:30:18.939 --> 00:30:19.759
 into

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.500
 God's

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:21.039
 glorious

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:22.000
 salvation

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:22.439
 plan

00:30:22.439 --> 00:30:25.659
 this

00:30:25.659 --> 00:30:26.019
 point

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:26.379
 is

00:30:26.379 --> 00:30:26.759
 emphasized

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.439
 over and

00:30:27.439 --> 00:30:28.059
 over again

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:28.339
 in the

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:28.799
 gospel of

 one time

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.760
 greater

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:33.559
 than

00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:33.760
 what

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:33.940
 he

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.320
 did

00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:34.940
 what

 that

00:34:35.140 --> 00:34:35.360
 man

00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:35.539

 for

00:34:35.700 --> 00:34:35.860
 the

 not

00:34:40.099 --> 00:34:40.799
 aliens

00:34:40.799 --> 00:34:41.139
 but

00:34:41.139 --> 00:34:41.319
 we

00:34:41.319 --> 00:34:41.579
 were

00:34:41.579 --> 00:34:42.380
 rebels

00:34:42.380 --> 00:34:44.420
 undeserving

 God

00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:49.239
 we

00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:49.380
 were

00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:49.880
 facing

00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:50.359
 imminent

00:34:50.359 --> 00:34:50.920

 our

00:34:57.619 --> 00:34:58.000
 sins

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:58.539
 but

00:36:27.139 --> 00:36:27.299
 he

00:36:27.299 --> 00:36:27.599
 did

00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:27.759
 to

00:36:27.759 --> 00:36:28.079
 this

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:29.179
 crazy

00:36:29.179 --> 00:36:29.599
 man

00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:30.799
 spreads

00:36:32.179 --> 00:36:32.559
 country

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:33.659
 so that

00:36:33.659 --> 00:36:33.820
 some

00:36:33.820 --> 00:36:34.119
 people

00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:34.519
 journey

00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:34.980
 to

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.179
 the

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:35.519
 country

00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:35.719
 of

00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:35.820
 the

00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:36.119
 garrisons

00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:36.539
 to see

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:36.699
 for

00:36:36.699 --> 00:36:37.159
 themselves

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:38.460
 and it

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:38.799
 says in

00:36:38.799 --> 00:36:39.639
 verse 35

00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:39.980
 that they

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.579
 came to

00:36:40.579 --> 00:36:40.980
 Jesus

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:41.960
 and found

00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:42.420
 the man

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:42.859
 from whom

00:36:42.859 --> 00:36:43.319
 the demons

00:36:43.319 --> 00:36:43.899
 had gone

00:36:43.899 --> 00:36:44.879
 sitting at

00:36:44.879 --> 00:36:45.339
 the feet

00:36:45.339 --> 00:36:45.940
 of Jesus

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:47.339
 clothed

00:36:47.339 --> 00:36:47.799
 and in

00:36:47.799 --> 00:36:48.480
 his right

00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:48.940
 mind

00:36:48.940 --> 00:36:49.839
 and they

00:36:49.839 --> 00:36:50.500
 were afraid

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:51.960
 so this

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:52.420
 is a picture

00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:52.739
 of the

00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:53.119
 man's

00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:53.639

00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:54.500
 restoration

00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:55.559
 before

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:56.460
 the demons

00:36:56.460 --> 00:36:57.199
 were inside

00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:57.619
 the man

00:36:57.619 --> 00:36:58.359
 now they

00:36:58.359 --> 00:36:59.079
 had gone

00:36:59.079 --> 00:37:00.179
 before

00:37:00.179 --> 00:37:00.779
 the man

00:37:00.779 --> 00:37:01.199
 had worn

00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:01.960
 no clothes

00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:02.839
 but now

00:37:02.839 --> 00:37:03.579
 he is

00:37:03.579 --> 00:37:04.519
 clothed

00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:05.299
 and before

00:37:05.299 --> 00:37:05.699
 the man

00:37:05.699 --> 00:37:06.299
 was out of

00:37:06.299 --> 00:37:06.779
 his mind

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:07.200
 and crying

00:37:07.200 --> 00:37:07.620
 out in

00:37:07.620 --> 00:37:07.980
 a loud

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:08.300
 voice

00:37:08.300 --> 00:37:08.680
 like a

00:37:08.680 --> 00:37:08.900
 man

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:09.300
 that he

00:37:09.300 --> 00:37:09.680
 was

00:37:09.680 --> 00:37:11.320
 but now

00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:11.660
 he is

00:37:11.660 --> 00:37:11.880
 in his

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:12.180
 right

00:37:12.180 --> 00:37:12.540
 mind

00:37:12.540 --> 00:37:13.460
 before

00:37:13.460 --> 00:37:13.860
 he was

00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:14.280
 roaming

00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:14.560
 among

00:37:14.560 --> 00:37:14.780
 the

00:37:14.780 --> 00:37:15.140
 tombs

00:37:15.140 --> 00:37:15.420
 and was

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:15.780
 driven

00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:16.100
 to

00:37:16.100 --> 00:37:16.320
 the

00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:16.740
 desert

00:37:16.740 --> 00:37:17.400
 by the

00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:17.700
 demons

00:37:17.700 --> 00:37:18.140
 and no

00:37:18.140 --> 00:37:18.280
 one

00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:18.620
 was able

00:37:18.620 --> 00:37:18.760
 to

00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:19.280
 restrain

00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:19.620
 him

00:37:19.620 --> 00:37:20.360
 but now

00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:20.780
 he is

00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:21.280
 sitting

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:23.080
 at the

00:37:23.080 --> 00:37:23.260
 feet

00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:23.380
 of

00:37:23.380 --> 00:37:23.820
 Jesus

00:37:23.820 --> 00:37:25.840
 voluntarily

00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:28.500
 the phrase

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:29.000
 sitting at

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:29.440
 the feet

00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:30.040
 implies

00:37:30.040 --> 00:37:31.019
 discipleship

00:37:31.019 --> 00:37:31.460
 as the

00:37:31.460 --> 00:37:32.160
 request

00:37:32.160 --> 00:37:32.660
 that he

00:37:32.660 --> 00:37:32.960
 brings

00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:33.380
 that he

00:37:33.380 --> 00:37:33.620
 may be

00:37:33.620 --> 00:37:34.019
 with

00:37:34.019 --> 00:37:34.500
 Jesus

00:37:34.500 --> 00:37:35.120
 those are

00:37:35.120 --> 00:37:35.320
 both

00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:35.800
 languages

00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:36.140
 of

00:37:36.140 --> 00:37:36.920
 discipleship

00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:37.400
 that's

00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:38.080
 where the

00:37:38.080 --> 00:37:38.900
 pupils sit

00:37:38.900 --> 00:37:39.260
 when they're

00:37:39.260 --> 00:37:39.539
 with their

00:37:39.539 --> 00:37:39.900
 teachers

00:37:39.900 --> 00:37:40.420
 at the

00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:40.680
 feet

00:37:40.680 --> 00:37:41.019
 of the

00:37:41.019 --> 00:37:41.400
 teachers

00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:42.039
 that's

00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:42.440
 the technical

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:42.760
 way of

00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:43.220
 describing

00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:43.480
 their

00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:44.100
 relationship

00:37:44.100 --> 00:37:45.340
 so before

00:37:45.340 --> 00:37:45.860
 this man

00:37:45.860 --> 00:37:46.420
 wanted nothing

00:37:46.420 --> 00:37:46.760
 to do

00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:47.160
 with Jesus

00:37:47.160 --> 00:37:47.580
 but now

00:37:47.580 --> 00:37:47.960
 he is

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:48.340
 submitted

00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:48.940
 to Jesus

00:37:48.940 --> 00:37:49.880
 and receiving

00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:50.700
 instruction

00:37:50.700 --> 00:37:51.360
 from him

00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:54.840
 and

00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:55.099
 verses

00:37:55.099 --> 00:37:55.660
 37

00:37:55.660 --> 00:37:56.160
 to 39

00:37:56.160 --> 00:37:56.760
 contrast

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:57.240
 the

00:37:57.240 --> 00:37:57.740
 response

00:37:57.740 --> 00:37:58.099
 of this

00:37:58.099 --> 00:37:58.500
 cured

00:37:58.500 --> 00:37:59.180
 demoniac

00:37:59.180 --> 00:38:00.019
 from that

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:00.360
 of the

00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:00.519
 other

00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:00.920
 witnesses

00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:01.440
 please

00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:01.720
 read

00:38:01.720 --> 00:38:02.000
 again

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:02.420
 with me

00:38:02.420 --> 00:38:02.940
 37

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.579
 to 39

00:38:03.579 --> 00:38:04.759
 then

00:38:04.759 --> 00:38:05.099
 all

00:38:05.099 --> 00:38:05.279
 the

00:38:05.279 --> 00:38:05.639
 people

00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:06.039
 of the

00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:06.440
 surrounding

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:06.940
 country

00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:07.199
 of the

00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:07.819
 garrisones

00:38:07.819 --> 00:38:08.619
 asked him

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:09.400
 to depart

00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:10.000
 from them

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:12.179
 for they

00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:12.819
 were seized

00:38:12.819 --> 00:38:13.480
 with great

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:13.840
 fear

00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:15.719
 so he

00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:16.079
 got into

00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:16.420
 the boat

00:38:16.420 --> 00:38:17.860
 and returned

00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:19.920
 the man

00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:20.319
 from whom

00:38:20.319 --> 00:38:20.759
 the demons

00:38:20.759 --> 00:38:21.199
 had gone

00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:21.719
 begged

00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:22.099
 that he

00:38:22.099 --> 00:38:22.480
 might be

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:22.920
 with him

00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:23.659
 but Jesus

00:38:23.659 --> 00:38:24.219
 sent him

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:24.519
 away

00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:24.920
 saying

00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:25.840
 return

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:26.279
 to your

00:38:26.279 --> 00:38:26.539
 home

00:38:26.539 --> 00:38:27.259
 and declare

00:38:27.259 --> 00:38:28.039
 how much

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.559
 God has

00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:28.799
 done

00:38:28.799 --> 00:38:29.259
 for you

00:38:29.259 --> 00:38:30.400
 and he

00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:30.960
 went away

00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:31.819
 proclaiming

00:38:31.819 --> 00:38:32.460
 throughout the

00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:33.039
 whole city

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:33.579
 how much

00:38:33.579 --> 00:38:33.920
 Jesus

00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:34.679
 had done

00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:35.599
 for him

00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:36.880
 there's a

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.259
 theme

00:38:37.259 --> 00:38:37.719
 a running

00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:37.960
 theme

00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:38.519
 of fear

00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:39.059
 in this

00:38:39.059 --> 00:38:39.400
 entire

00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:39.940
 passage

00:38:39.940 --> 00:38:41.340
 verse 25

00:38:41.340 --> 00:38:42.079
 said that

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:42.960
 after Jesus

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.460
 calmed the

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:43.739
 storm

00:38:43.739 --> 00:38:44.380
 the disciples

00:38:44.380 --> 00:38:45.400
 were afraid

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:46.460
 verse 35

00:38:46.460 --> 00:38:47.059
 says that

00:38:47.059 --> 00:38:47.599
 after seeing

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:48.079
 the demoniac

00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:48.440
 healed

00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:48.820
 and in his

00:38:48.820 --> 00:38:49.300
 right mind

00:38:49.300 --> 00:38:49.779
 the people

00:38:49.779 --> 00:38:50.539
 were afraid

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.179
 and now

00:38:51.179 --> 00:38:51.840
 here again

00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:52.840
 it says

00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:53.699
 in verse 37

00:38:53.699 --> 00:38:54.079
 that they

00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:54.719
 were seized

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:55.320
 with great

00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:56.039
 fear

00:38:56.039 --> 00:38:59.279
 when you

00:38:59.279 --> 00:38:59.739
 encounter

00:38:59.739 --> 00:39:00.539
 power of

00:39:00.539 --> 00:39:00.840
 this

00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:01.539
 magnitude

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:02.300
 when you

00:39:02.300 --> 00:39:02.920
 find yourself

00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:03.200
 in the

00:39:03.200 --> 00:39:03.579
 presence

00:39:03.579 --> 00:39:04.220
 of a

00:39:04.220 --> 00:39:04.720
 divine

00:39:04.720 --> 00:39:05.460
 representative

00:39:05.460 --> 00:39:07.139
 that is

00:39:07.139 --> 00:39:07.740
 the only

00:39:07.740 --> 00:39:08.539
 proper

00:39:08.539 --> 00:39:09.320
 response

00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:09.740
 of a

00:39:09.740 --> 00:39:09.940
 weak

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:10.260
 human

00:39:10.260 --> 00:39:10.559
 being

00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:12.400
 unless

00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:12.780
 you have

00:39:12.780 --> 00:39:13.260
 faith

00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:15.079
 unless

00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:15.460
 you have

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:15.860
 reason

00:39:15.860 --> 00:39:16.559
 to approach

00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:16.720
 him

00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:17.360
 with boldness

00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:19.920
 so the

00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:20.360
 people in

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:20.680
 the city

00:39:20.680 --> 00:39:21.340
 ask Jesus

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:21.740
 to leave

00:39:21.740 --> 00:39:22.139
 because they're

00:39:22.139 --> 00:39:22.780
 afraid of

00:39:22.780 --> 00:39:23.139
 Jesus

00:39:23.139 --> 00:39:24.180
 and what

00:39:24.180 --> 00:39:24.519
 he is

00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:24.920
 capable

00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:25.519
 of doing

00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:26.940
 and what

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:27.900
 that implies

00:39:27.900 --> 00:39:28.500
 for them

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:30.280
 if this

00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:30.860
 is who

00:39:30.860 --> 00:39:31.280
 Jesus

00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:31.599
 really

00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:31.880
 is

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:32.079
 what

00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:32.199
 does

00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:32.360
 that

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:32.539
 mean

00:39:32.539 --> 00:39:32.719
 for

00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:32.980
 me

00:39:32.980 --> 00:39:34.000
 obviously

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.440
 they can't

00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:34.699
 live the

00:39:34.699 --> 00:39:35.099
 same way

00:39:35.099 --> 00:39:35.460
 anymore

00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:39.719
 I wonder

00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:40.079
 if any

00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:40.340
 of you

00:39:40.340 --> 00:39:40.880
 are afraid

00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:41.380
 of Jesus

00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:44.840
 if Jesus

00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:45.619
 really is

00:39:45.619 --> 00:39:46.280
 God

00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:47.179
 then he

00:39:47.179 --> 00:39:47.820
 demands

00:39:47.820 --> 00:39:48.260
 your

00:39:48.260 --> 00:39:48.880
 allegiance

00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:49.719
 your life

00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:50.059
 will never

00:39:50.059 --> 00:39:50.440
 be the

00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:50.679
 same

00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:50.920
 again

00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:51.320
 are you

00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:51.880
 afraid

00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:53.000
 of the

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.400
 radical

00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:54.000
 change

00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:54.579
 in lifestyle

00:39:54.579 --> 00:39:55.340
 that Jesus

00:39:55.340 --> 00:39:55.980
 demands

00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:56.420
 of you

00:39:56.420 --> 00:40:03.019
 are you

00:40:03.019 --> 00:40:03.480
 afraid

00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:03.920
 of what

00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:04.259
 you might

00:40:04.259 --> 00:40:04.739
 lose

00:40:04.739 --> 00:40:08.639
 are you

00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:08.960
 afraid

00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:09.259
 what he

00:40:09.259 --> 00:40:09.759
 might say

00:40:09.759 --> 00:40:10.920
 to you

00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:17.099
 these

00:40:17.099 --> 00:40:17.299
 men

00:40:17.299 --> 00:40:17.559
 lost

00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:17.779
 a herd

00:40:17.779 --> 00:40:18.279
 of pigs

00:40:18.279 --> 00:40:19.960
 maybe

00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:20.340
 you lose

00:40:20.340 --> 00:40:20.739
 your worldly

00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:21.739
 preoccupations

00:40:21.739 --> 00:40:22.940
 your selfish

00:40:22.940 --> 00:40:23.500
 ambitions

00:40:23.500 --> 00:40:26.800
 but Jesus

00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:27.639
 has come

00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:28.039
 into

00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:28.400
 your

00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:28.880
 garrison

00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:29.699
 country

00:40:29.699 --> 00:40:30.699
 and he

00:40:30.699 --> 00:40:31.159
 is bringing

00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:31.900
 cleansing

00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:33.239
 forgiveness

00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:35.000
 and healing

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:35.699
 and will you

00:40:35.699 --> 00:40:36.400
 now refuse

00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:36.639
 him

00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:41.599
 in contrast

00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:41.980
 to these

00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:42.280
 fearful

00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:42.639
 people

00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:43.139
 the healed

00:40:43.139 --> 00:40:43.420
 man

00:40:43.420 --> 00:40:43.900
 wants to

00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:44.159
 follow

00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:44.539
 Jesus

00:40:44.539 --> 00:40:44.900
 on his

00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:45.159
 journey

00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:45.460
 as a

00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:45.860
 disciple

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:46.300
 because

00:40:46.300 --> 00:40:46.739
 he

00:40:46.739 --> 00:40:47.400
 has

00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:48.380
 experienced

00:40:48.380 --> 00:40:48.780
 Jesus

00:40:48.780 --> 00:40:49.320
 saving

00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:49.840
 power

00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:50.840
 but

00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:51.460
 interestingly

00:40:51.460 --> 00:40:51.980
 Jesus

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:52.780
 denies

00:40:52.780 --> 00:40:53.820
 the man's

00:40:53.820 --> 00:40:54.300
 request

00:40:54.300 --> 00:40:56.420
 and sends

00:40:56.420 --> 00:40:56.860
 him away

00:40:56.860 --> 00:40:57.280
 saying

00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:57.640
 return

00:40:57.640 --> 00:40:57.980
 to your

00:40:57.980 --> 00:40:58.240
 home

00:40:58.240 --> 00:40:58.740
 and declare

00:40:58.740 --> 00:40:59.120
 how much

00:40:59.120 --> 00:40:59.400
 God

00:40:59.400 --> 00:40:59.780
 has done

00:40:59.780 --> 00:41:00.300
 for you

00:41:00.300 --> 00:41:01.660
 sometimes

00:41:01.660 --> 00:41:02.100
 God

00:41:02.100 --> 00:41:02.740
 tells us

00:41:02.740 --> 00:41:03.100
 no

00:41:03.100 --> 00:41:03.560
 when we

00:41:03.560 --> 00:41:03.900
 ask

00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:04.420
 for good

00:41:04.420 --> 00:41:04.800
 things

00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:05.100
 because

00:41:05.100 --> 00:41:05.380
 he

00:41:05.380 --> 00:41:05.680
 has

00:41:05.680 --> 00:41:06.120
 in mind

00:41:06.120 --> 00:41:06.480
 things

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:06.780

 do

00:42:44.619 --> 00:42:44.779
 you

00:42:44.779 --> 00:42:45.199
 proclaim

 to

00:42:45.420 --> 00:42:45.619
 all

00:42:45.619 --> 00:42:45.819
 those

00:42:45.819 --> 00:42:46.179

 has

00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:47.879
 done

00:42:47.879 --> 00:42:48.059
 for

 you

00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:54.220

00:42:54.220 --> 00:42:54.340
 an

00:42:54.340 --> 00:42:54.720
 interesting

00:42:54.720 --> 00:42:55.200
 and I

00:42:55.200 --> 00:42:55.380
 think

00:42:55.380 --> 00:42:55.900
 intentional

00:42:55.900 --> 00:42:56.559
 contrast

00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:57.320
 between

00:42:57.320 --> 00:42:57.780
 Jesus'

00:42:57.980 --> 00:42:58.420
 command

00:42:58.420 --> 00:42:59.260
 and the

00:42:59.260 --> 00:42:59.860
 demoniac's

00:42:59.860 --> 00:43:00.360
 obedience

00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:00.820
 in verse

00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:01.240
 39

00:43:01.240 --> 00:43:01.539
 I hope

00:43:01.539 --> 00:43:01.960
 you noticed

00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:02.360
 it in the

00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:02.920
 scripture

00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:03.340
 reading

00:43:03.340 --> 00:43:04.700
 Jesus

00:43:04.700 --> 00:43:05.160
 tells him

00:43:05.160 --> 00:43:05.519
 to go

00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:06.039
 declare

00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:06.580
 how much

00:43:06.580 --> 00:43:07.019
 God

00:43:07.019 --> 00:43:07.200
 has

00:43:07.200 --> 00:43:07.360
 done

00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:07.539
 for

00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:07.840
 you

00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:09.059
 but

00:43:09.059 --> 00:43:09.240
 the

00:43:09.240 --> 00:43:09.580
 man

00:43:09.580 --> 00:43:09.900
 goes

00:43:09.900 --> 00:43:10.700
 proclaiming

00:43:10.700 --> 00:43:10.980
 how

00:43:10.980 --> 00:43:11.360
 much

00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:12.340
 Jesus

00:43:12.340 --> 00:43:14.000
 has

00:43:15.240 --> 00:43:15.539
 him

00:43:15.539 --> 00:43:18.579
 because

00:43:18.579 --> 00:43:18.920
 Luke

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:19.139
 is

00:43:19.460 --> 00:43:19.840
 again

00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:20.759
 statement

00:43:20.759 --> 00:43:21.340
 about

00:43:21.340 --> 00:43:21.779
 Jesus'

00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:22.559

 Jesus

00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:24.000
 is

00:44:15.539 --> 00:44:16.000
 lives

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:16.860
 oppressed

00:44:16.860 --> 00:44:17.260
 by

00:44:17.260 --> 00:44:17.500
 the

00:44:17.500 --> 00:44:17.960
 legion

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:18.119
 of

00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:18.579
 demons

00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:19.240
 but

00:44:19.240 --> 00:44:19.519
 God

00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:20.000
 sent

00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:20.280
 us

00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:20.460
 a

00:44:20.460 --> 00:44:20.960
 champion

00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:22.039
 he

00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:22.480
 sent

00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:22.860
 his

00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:23.360
 divine

00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:24.000
 warrior

00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:25.119
 he

00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:25.400
 sent

00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:25.820
 Christ

00:44:25.820 --> 00:44:26.019
 the

00:44:26.019 --> 00:44:26.320
 king

00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:26.760
 to

00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:27.280
 conquer

00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:27.720
 sin

00:44:27.720 --> 00:44:28.140
 to

00:44:28.140 --> 00:44:28.640
 conquer

00:44:28.640 --> 00:44:29.099
 death

00:44:29.099 --> 00:44:29.460
 and

00:44:29.460 --> 00:44:29.619
 to

00:44:29.619 --> 00:44:30.039
 conquer

00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:30.680
 Satan

00:44:30.680 --> 00:44:31.180
 and

00:44:31.180 --> 00:44:31.360
 to

00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:31.760
 rescue

00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:32.220
 us

00:44:32.220 --> 00:44:32.559
 so

00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:32.680
 that

00:44:32.680 --> 00:44:32.860
 we

00:44:32.860 --> 00:44:33.140
 might

00:44:33.140 --> 00:44:33.320
 be

00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:33.880
 restored

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:34.079
 to

00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:34.280
 the

00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:34.539
 kingdom

00:44:34.539 --> 00:44:34.760
 of

00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:35.160
 God

00:44:35.160 --> 00:44:36.180
 as

00:44:36.180 --> 00:44:36.840
 citizens

00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:39.440
 how

00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:39.920
 much

00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:40.619
 has

00:44:40.619 --> 00:44:41.059
 Jesus

00:44:41.059 --> 00:44:42.019
 done

00:44:42.019 --> 00:44:42.739
 for

00:44:42.739 --> 00:44:43.099
 you

00:44:43.099 --> 00:44:47.900
 nothing

00:44:47.900 --> 00:44:48.380
 short of

00:44:48.380 --> 00:44:48.800
 bringing us

00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:49.219
 from death

00:44:49.219 --> 00:44:49.739
 to life

00:44:49.739 --> 00:44:52.400
 bringing us

00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:53.000
 from slavery

00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:53.579
 to freedom

00:44:53.579 --> 00:44:57.000
 from alienation

00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:57.739
 and separation

00:44:57.739 --> 00:44:58.920
 to citizenship

00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:00.559
 and reconciliation

00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:04.579
 let's

00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:05.159
 return to

00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:05.719
 our homes

00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:06.579
 and our

00:45:06.579 --> 00:45:06.940
 neighborhoods

00:45:06.940 --> 00:45:07.779
 after the

00:45:07.779 --> 00:45:08.139
 service

00:45:08.139 --> 00:45:09.259
 to

00:45:09.259 --> 00:45:09.799
 declare

00:45:09.799 --> 00:45:11.159
 how much

00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:11.619
 God has

00:45:11.619 --> 00:45:11.840
 done

00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:12.279
 for us

00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:27.400
 by

00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:35.420
 and
