The Demon-Possessed Man

What do you see in Jesus’ love?

What were the results of Jesus’ love?

• The man was delivered from the demon and he spoke
• The crowd was amazed

In many of these accounts we read that when Jesus looked – with love – at the individuals that we suffering, what He saw was their faith.

• Sometimes I wonder what it is we see when we look at the people that are suffering around us. Do we look for their faith?
• And I wonder if we attempted to truly love like Jesus loved – the way Jesus calls us to love – if we would see things different

In most of these accounts we read that the affects of Jesus love were far reaching – far beyond the person that had been healed or delivered.

• What affect will our Christian love have on those in our church – our community – our world?
