When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, shouting, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?

I beg you, do not torment me,” for Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.

(For many times it had seized him; he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilds.)

Luke 8:28–29

Sunday features one of the most powerful healing stories in scripture.

A man is severely afflicted with demons, living among the tombs and shackled.

One can only imagine the pain and anguish life must have been.

And while most people avoided any contact with the man, Jesus makes a special trip to meet him and restore his mental, physical, and spiritual health.

Jesus sets him free from his bondage and he then shares with everyone all that Jesus did for him.

Join us Sunday as we consider this story and how Jesus sets us free.
