Lil Red Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 +JMJ+ So in Matthew 8, when Jesus and the disciples reach the other side of the sea, Jesus casts out the demons and sent them into the herd of swine. Then the herdsmen go tell everyone in the city. It says that all the people came to meet Jesus; when they saw him, they begged him to leave. So what gives? They go to meet him, but after seeing him, tell him to leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoketos Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The reaction of the locals show us that to live the Christian life, that is admit that Christ is God who can caste demons out into swine, is depart radically from our own plans and assent to God's design for our life. When we are selfish we push God away to maintain our selfishness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
