What a drama in Mark 5:1-20! As Jesus is getting out of the boat, the fearsome, naked, cutter comes running out, bows down, and begs our Lord to not torment him. A mob of evil is soon cast out of this man into 2,000 pigs. The pigs rush into the sea and drown. The man is left free, sane, clothed. And sits at Jesus feet.
But our Lord gets rejected by his neighbors as they are afraid He will disrupt their economy (they lost a lot of pigs). As Jesus is getting into the boat to leave, He tells the free man to go back home and tell the people "what great things Jesus had done for him".

As daughters of God who are free in Christ, we get the same opportunity. "The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad." (Psalm 126:2-4)
Lord, give us opportunity to share these great things.
