Even though the character of the demoniac in Mark 5 is initially a little hard to relate to, the more we dig into the story, we see the ways that this story is relevant to us. Similar to the demoniac, we are all held in some sort of bondage but the temptation is to be like the townspeople and hide away the “bad” things in our lives. The real question is: do you really want to be free? Will you approach Jesus for healing and transformation or do you think Jesus wants to “torment” you?
