They Knew They Were Whipped
The spirits inside the man begged Jesus again and again not
to send them out of that area. A large herd of pigs was
eating on a hill near there. The evil spirits begged Jesus,
"Send us to the pigs. Let us go into them."
-- Mark 5:10-12 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
The evil spirits begged! While they overpowered the man and struck fear
in the people who lived nearby, they begged Jesus! They knew they were
doomed in the face of Jesus' power. Rather than face Jesus, a legion of
demons versus one man of God, they begged to be sent into unclean pigs.
Reminds me of an old song: "He signed my deed with his atoning blood.
He ever lives to make his promise good. Though all the hosts of hell
march in to make a second claim, they all march out at the mention of
his name. ... Jesus!"
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy God, forgive me for not drawing near to your Son when I faced
temptations in the past. Please remind me to draw near to him when I am
tempted in the future. Give me the courage, dear Father, to confess the
name of Jesus and to know that even the mention of his name in faith
has great power. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
