Transcription de la présentation

  1. 8. Release from Bondage Mark 5:1-20 p. 926-7

  2. 1. Demons & Destruction Region of the Decapolis (10 cities)

  3. 1. Demons & Destruction • Demon possessed man: • Violent, cannot be restrained (v 3-4) • Roams restlessly among the cavetombs (v 3) • Tormented and screams out (v 5) • Naked or wears scraps (v 15) • Cuts himself with stones (v 5) • On his knees but shouting (v 6) • “God Most High” (v 7) a Gentile title for God.

  4. 2. Demons & Destruction ... • Why did the man not run away? • Demons had to come and bow before Jesus • Tormented man is able to seek release

  5. 2. Release & Restoration • Jesus knows the man’s problem • The man has a very large number of demons oppressing him. • They are cast out and the man dresses & returns to normal life. (v 15, 19) • Contrast: • Demons: tormented, alienated, isolated the man • Jesus restores normality & sanity.

  6. 2. Release & Restoration ... • The rebuke and silencing of the storm (4:39), similar to exorcism in 1:25. • Storm served the evil purpose of preventing his crossing • Time constraints: • It took time for word to spread & Jesus to travel to Gerasa. • Possible that Jesus was in the region a few days. • Then he returned to the other side.

  7. 3. A Specific act of Grace • Only thing Jesus does: release this tormented man • He came all that way for only one person. • Book: “The Great Giveaway”, David Fitch. • Jesus’ trip was a waste: High cost for low return. • Jesus will do the same for us • Jesus calls us to do the same for others

  8. 3. A Specific act of Grace ... • Jesus would not let the man come with him • He was to be the first evangelist to the Gentiles • Jesus was clear about his own mission.

  9. Lessons • Jesus has authority over all demonic forces • We have no reason to fear them • Jesus brings restoration • We should live in the victory of Shalom • Jesus expends great resources for one man • God’s economy is very different to ours • The man’s desire was good but Jesus had a different purpose for him
