Part 5 - When Jesus Says No
About the series:
Jesus encountered people who were skeptical of him as well as those who were deeply scarred by the pains from life on a fallen world. This is still true today. We will take a closer look at these stories of skeptics and scars from the Gospel of Mark and how they apply us today.
About this week's message:
Jesus can rescue and free anyone, regardless of their past. While everyone was avoiding this crazy man, Jesus made a special trip to see him and set him free. Then, Jesus denied his request to come with Him. This doesn't make sense, just as it doesn't make sense when God tells us "NO". However, God's plan for this man was greater than he could understand.
Key Phrase: “…he was sitting there, dressed, and in his right mind.” Mark 5:15
