February 24

Liberated by Jesus

Bible in a Year:

• Numbers 9–11
• Mark 5:1–20

[He] began to tell . . . how much Jesus had done for him.

Mark 5:20

“I lived with my mother so long that she moved out!” Those were the words of KC, whose life before sobriety and surrender to Jesus was not pretty. He candidly admits supporting his drug habit by stealing—even from loved ones. That life is behind him now and he rehearses this by noting the years, months, and days he’s been clean. When KC and I regularly sit down to study God’s Word together, l’m looking at a changed man.

Mark 5:15 speaks of a former demon-possessed individual who had also been changed. Prior to his healing, helpless, hopeless, homeless, and desperate are words that fit the man (vv. 3–5). But all of that changed after Jesus liberated him (v. 13). But, as with KC, his life before Jesus was far from normal. His internal turmoil that he expressed externally is not unlike what people experience today. Some hurting people dwell in abandoned buildings, vehicles, or other places; some live in their own homes but are emotionally alone. Invisible chains shackle hearts and minds to the point that they distance themselves from others.

In Jesus, we have the One who can be trusted with our pain and the shame of the past and present. And, as with Legion and KC, He waits with open arms of mercy for all who run to Him today (v. 19).

Reflect & Pray

How has Jesus changed you? Who do you know that needs to hear about it?

God, I’m so grateful that, through Jesus, things that controlled me in the past can indeed remain in the past.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...did you and Penny have a nice sunny hike today?

We have mid teens and beautiful blue skies and sunshine.

My plow guy came early this morning and the street plows just a bit ago. Hurrah! They needed to plow 6”+ on my street.

[PROCON]

It's just incredible what he and the other surviving men had to endure at the hands of their brutal captures. So many men died.

Thanks for tonight's Canteen, Kathy!

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

Amazing he survived all that he endured.

[luvie]

What a lot that man went through for us. We knew a man that was part of the Bataan Death March and he simply wouldn’t talk about it. He was never the same when he got back. God bless all of them

Howdy, Kathy.

Other than being frigid, your weather looks much improved over yesterday.

Have more ducks shown up today or are the majority still hiding?

[radu]

Howdy, Mayor.

Are your cold and tummy bug finally leaving you alone? No fun being laid up.

[radu]

Howdy, PO.

Did you finally get to head out to the shooting range with your son?

The Mayor!!
