From Possessed To Preaching

Mark 5:1-20

He lived among the tombs and was possessed by an unclean spirit. No man could bind him for he had often broken the chains with which they endeavored to hold him. He could not be tamed and he howled day and night, cutting himself with stones. But one day in divine providence this demonic maniac came face to face with Christ Jesus, and you know the rest of the story. He was saved and delivered. We are told that later the town folk found him who ran day and night among the tombs sitting with Christ. The same man that ran half naked with bloody self inflicted wounds was clothed, cleaned and in his right mind. They had been afraid of this man day and night. Now that he sits clothed, clean, and in his right mind, they were even more afraid and desired greatly that Christ leave their coasts. (Men are often afraid of what they do not understand.)

Have you ever paid attention to the rest of the story? The citizens of this country wanted Christ to leave, but the one delivered, wanted to go with Him. That is the true sign of a believer. They want to go, follow and be with their Saviour. I can see this delivered man running to the ship on which Christ had boarded. We are told that he prayed (this word means begged) that he might be with his Lord, but Jesus suffered (allowed) him not. The next words of our Lord are amazing. Christ told him to, “Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.” (Mark 5:19). Christ called this once wretch of a man to be a preacher. Go tell your friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee. Tell them how you undeservingly received compassion, mercy and grace. And that is exactly what this once demonic maniac did.

And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel (Mark 5:20). Did you know that this is what preachers do? They report and publish. If you look up that word “publish” it simply means to preach and proclaim. When God calls men to preach the true Gospel and gives lost men and women the understanding of what these preachers publish, the result is always the same. They marveled!
