Sunday 3/29 - Church
Today is Palm Sunday … kinda wish there had been a little bit of focus around this point, I would love to understand this a little better.
“Your story, His glory” - the name of the current series.
Mark chapter 5
Mark 4 - Jesus has calmed the storm on the way across the lake. The disciples marveled, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
They arrived at the region of the Gerasenes, and were approached by the demon oppressed man who lived among the tombs.
If I’m not feeling any kind of push back or resistance from the enemy, then I’m not enough of a threat for him to worry about. 😬
vs 8 & 9 are interesting to me. Jesus transitions directly from asking the unclean spirit to come out of the man (so, nothing happens??), to asking him what his name is.
I wonder who it was that Jesus was speaking to when he asked ”What is your name?”, was it the man, or the demon?
Galatians 5:1 - ”For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
