HERE’S THE SITUATION


They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

WHAT’S JESUS GONNA DO?


Rescuethe

When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me!” For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you evil spirit!”Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

Mark 5:1-21


Rescuethe

A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

Mark 5:1-21


Rescuethe

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you’ll be at rest!

But Jesus has already paid greater costs to redeem you.

WHAT WILLOTHERS THINK?


Rescuethe

Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon–possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

Mark 5:1-21


Rescuethe

NO MATTER THE MESS,THERE’S STILL A MISSION


Rescuethe

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon–possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

Mark 5:1-21


Rescuethe

Choose to leave a mark on the world, not on your body.


Rescuethe

When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake.

1 John 4:4 (CEV)


Rescuethe

Ahab reported to Jezebel everything that Elijah had done, including the massacre of the prophets. Jezebel immediately sent a messenger to Elijah with her threat: “The gods will get you for this and I’ll get even with you! By this time tomorrow you’ll be as dead as any one of those prophets.”When Elijah saw how things were, he ran for dear life to Beersheba, far in the south of Judah. He left his young servant there and then went on into the desert another day’s journey. He came to a lone broom bush and collapsed in its shade, wanting in the worst way to be done with it all—to just die:

1 Kings 19:1-8 (The Message)


Rescuethe

“Enough of this, God! Take my life—I’m ready to join my ancestors in the grave!” Exhausted, he fell asleep under the lone broom bush.Suddenly an angel shook him awake and said, “Get up and eat!”He looked around and, to his surprise, right by his head were a loaf of bread baked on some coals and a jug of water. He ate the meal and went back to sleep.The angel of God came back, shook him awake again, and said, “Get up and eat some more—you’ve got a long journey ahead of you.”He got up, ate and drank his fill, and set out.

1 Kings 19:1-8 (The Message)

The enemy will go to all costs to get you to destroy you.

But Jesus has already paid greater costs to redeem you.
