Title: And They Were Afraid

Scripture: Luke 8:26-39

Summary: After stilling a storm in the Sea of Galilee, Jesus and the disciples land in the Gerasenes. Immediately, they run into a naked demon-possessed man who lives in a graveyard. Ironically, the demons know exactly who Jesus is and fall before him, asking not to be tormented. Jesus sets the man free by casting the demons into a herd of pigs who rush down the hill into the water and are drowned. This causes fear in the people from the nearby town, so they ask Jesus to leave. What a crazy story! What can we learn about Jesus from a naked demon-possessed man?
