Want to see something neat? In Luke 8, Jesus cast a “legion” of demons out of a man living near some tombs. Afterward, Jesus told the formerly demon-possessed man to stay in his hometown and tell everybody how much God had done for him. The man obeyed. Take special note, however, of the wording.
Luke 8:38-39 – 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
Yes, the man obeyed. Jesus told him to tell how much God had done for him. He told how much Jesus had done for him. This is the delivered man and Luke helping us to see the significant truth that Jesus is God—never less. God the Son is truly God and truly man and a glorious Savior.
