So much happens in this set of verses. More than I could ever write about in one little blog. The fishers of men quote is such a powerful one to me. I can remember as a young boy my dad and I would wake up early to go fish. We were terrible fisherman, we never caught anything at all. Hopefully, we are better at evangelism than we are at fishing. This is something that that applies to every christian young or old. We all have a responsibity to teach those who are lost. I also have a hard time understanding how these men just up and left everything they had and followed Jesus. We have a hard time just leaving our houses to go to church. It is a very humbling set of verses for me.
The part about the demonic man is a quite a scene. Over and over again we read about men who were demon possessed. I wonder what these men must have been like. It would have a been a crazy site to see. I am glad these things no longer exist today.
The power of Jesus' healing is something truly marvelous. These peoples entire lives were changed by just the touch of a hand. I am glad we can have this same healing in a spiritual sense, he can clean us of our sins. What a great thing to have!!
