“And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man ... sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid” (v15). When Jesus healed the woman who touched his cloak (v27) and brought a girl back to life (v42), people were astonished. But when he healed the man possessed by demons who had lived among the tombs, the man no one could control, they were “afraid”. Jesus had power not only over physical sickness, but also over the invisible forces that caused chaos and isolation.
The restored man went away and proclaimed “how much Jesus had done for him” (v20). When we lay even the worst things at Jesus’ feet, we find that his power is not against us but is for us.
