Healed – inside and out

Luke 8.26-39

Jesus encounters and dramatically heals a man possessed by many demons. The man is transformed from someone naked and who appeared frightening, into someone ‘clothed and in his right mind’. The local community are fearful and ask Jesus to leave. Jesus tells the man who was healed to tell everyone what God has done for him.

What relevance does this story, and Jesus’ healing ministry in general, have for the world of today? How does it impact and challenge the way we live?

This week we explore the impact of Jesus on a damaged and divided world.
