To hear the stories of young people who have been abused as sex slaves by wicked, vile slave owners is heartbreaking. It is indeed man-stealing which God's Word condemns as worthy of the death penalty. Those enslaved are controlled by the pleasures of their owner. May God destroy this slavery and set these young people free. But as devastating as is this modern form of slavery, we are brought to see from our text this Lord's Day another form of bondage—bondage to Satan. As the lure and attraction for Satanism grows, there will correspondingly be more lives that are given over to consciously serve Satan and to be controlled by him who hates the freedom that is ours in Jesus Christ. What we see from this account is that Satan enslaves his prisoners to do his wicked will (which leads to their destruction) while Jesus sets the slaves free to do the will of a loving, good, and holy God (which leads to life). The main points from our text this Lord's Day are these: (1) The Bondage of the Demoniac (Luke 8:26-29); (2) The Liberator of the Demoniac (Luke 8:28-33); (3) Two Different Responses to This Deliverance (Luke 8:34-39).
