“The RoseBouquet”

When Jesus arrived on the other side of the lake after that violent storm He told to be still, two very violent men that no one else dared pass met Him and cried out, “What do You want with us, Son of God?” They shouted, “Have You come to torture us before our appointed time?”

These demon possessed men reveal some startling truths. The demons knew Jesus was the Son of God. They knew God had promised long ago that they would one day be put away in hell for torture, and they knew Jesus had power to send them there.

The demons feared their destiny so much they begged to be sent into a bunch of pigs. Jesus complied, knowing the pigs would run off madly and end up in the lake. Jewish people were not to eat pork or ham, so that wasn’t going to be such a bad thing.

Those tending the pigs ran off to the village or town to report this crazy thing they had witnessed. Soon the towns people came out in a mob to meet Jesus. But not to welcome Him. They begged Jesus to leave their region; they wanted things back the way they were.

Can you believe that? They would rather have those demon possessed men running around with sharp rocks, scaring the daylights out of them, - and their pork, than to have Jesus do miracles in their midst.

Do you recognize Jesus’ power as the Son of God to change your life, but you would rather not? Do you really love your present lifestyle more than you would love to be healed and transformed into a person of peace and a clear, sensible mind?

PRAYER: Lord, the best choice seems so clear and obvious. It would be far better to have You living with me, and changing everything for the better. However, as I consider this, I realize there are times when I seem blind to that option and I’d rather stick with the troubles I’m familiar with and the sins I’ve learned to like. But now I want to choose You - and accept Your changes.
