Courageous Storyteller


Listen Later

When Jesus crosses to the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, he is met by a man who had a legion of demons in him. The demons would often seize him, empower him to break chains and bonds, and drive him into the desert. Jesus drives the legion out of the man and into a herd of pigs who rush down a steep bank and drown. When townsfolk come to see what had just taken place, they see the man sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind. Jesus charges the man to return home and declare how much God has done for him. Luke notes: “The man went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.” (v39) One encounter with Jesus, and this man becomes a courageous storyteller. Courageous storytellers share with people around them what God is doing in their lives. We, too, have encountered Jesus by grace and have stories of transformation to share: stories of forgiveness, peace, healing, hope, blessing, provision, answered prayer, life-change, and more.
