Bible Text: Mark 5:1-20 | Stephen Weenink
Series: Do What Jesus Did
Followers of Jesus are aiming to cultivate the character of Jesus within them. One specific character quality that we are trying to emulate and form in us is Jesus' compassion. When Jesus looked at the crowds He was filled with compassion... Sometimes our compassion is lacking. Instead we are filled with judgement...
In today's text, we follow Jesus into a very spiritually dark place. He goes into pagan Gentile territory to rescue a man who has been held captive by a legion of demons. Jesus demonstrates incredible compassion in this story which leads, not only to this man's own spiritual awakening and deliverance, but also it opens the door to revival in his region...
Empathy leads to compassion, compassion leads to action, action leads to disruption, but could also result in gratitude and spiritual awakening.
