NO TAME LION!!
DEVOTION
After commanding the forces of nature to be still, Jesus commanded the forces of evil to be gone. Both incidents caused fear in those who witnessed them. It is difficult to be friends with those who have great power and authority. The disciples, who were in awe of Jesus, continued to follow and became effective under his authority. The town’s people asked him to leave, anticipating trouble from their earthly authorities.
Great power and authority often causes great opposition. Jesus did not negotiate with the demons; he commanded them and gave them permission, causing their destruction anyway.
FOR REFLECTION
• Is our ‘friendship’ with Jesus robbing us of our effectiveness as disciples?
• Are we more concerned about the fate of the pigs than the amazing power of salvation?
PRAYER
Lord, help me to truly serve you as one who has been saved from destruction.
