Mark 5

Halleluia, What a Savior to condescend to men of low estate?

The lowest estate of the Gadarene Demoniac, that none would venture to socialize with. No one would go into the tombs to make his acquaintance, but Jesus. The informed and the grieving parents are outcasts by their infirmity, but not to Jesus.

He comes to us. We have no friend so true as to follow us and to make our acquaintance when we have been the outcasts. He recreates us and makes us monuments of the grace of God. He cleanses us and heals our hearts and makes us testimonies of His help and hope in a life.

I would prefer to be the one who is seeking to be with Jesus greater than any other great person. No help is greater than his help. Some might have money to assist, some might have healing. Only Jesus has transforming power. He allows us to see our depravity and infirmity clearly, all along our path, so that we would be swift to flee to Him for cleansing and healing.

It is me, oh Lord, Standing in the need of Prayer!
Ultimately, in that day, we will be with Him in heaven. But now, we are bid to live out our deliverance in a dark and sin-sick world. Help us to be patient waiting to be with You and live the right way until then.
