What binds you?

Mark 5: 2 – 4

When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain.

For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

Often times we underestimate the power of evil.

No one was strong enough to subdue him—except for Jesus.

The demonic couldn’t be bound—it tore the chains apart—and broke the irons on his feet.

But Jesus came into this man’s life, and everything changed for the better.

Isn’t that just like us? Nothing seems to work right in life, and then Jesus makes His entrance.

Everything we try, to escape evil on our own, will never match wits against Jesus.

We know this man’s name to be “Legion”, because many demons entered him.

These demons were no match for Jesus.

What have you allowed into your life, that might represent evil?

Why not take it to Jesus? Those things that seem to bind you, won’t bind you anymore, if you do.

Maybe it feels like you’re living in a tomb these days. Then why not bring that “thing” or “things” to Jesus?

He’s an expert in coming out of the tomb fully alive, you know
