We humans are good at applying labels to each other. Short, fat, black, white, loser, winner… We drop bombs on "enemies," we feed (or chastise) the "hungry. We apply a label and we think we know a person. When Jesus encounters a gentile, demon-possessed, man who is as good as dead (he lives in the cemetery), Jesus sees none of the labels. Instead, he restores the man to his standing as a human, a child of God. Christ sees you for who you are, not for the labels you bear. And he sets us free.
