As I sit here and think about how the last week and a bit in Israel has affected my mind and heart, many things are yet to be processed but one thing stands out above the rest.
In Luke 8:26-39 is a story about how Jesus went to the country of the Gerasenes across the Sea of Galilee and healed a man possessed by many demons. This man was chosen by Jesus. Jesus freed him from his burdens and then told him to go and tell. There was then a great purpose behind this revealed as the man went and proclaimed throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
We visited that place and saw the tombs and I thought about this story a lot.
What did I take away from this experience and reflection?
Jesus has chosen me.
Jesus has freed me.
I am called to go and tell others about Jesus, fulfilling my great purpose.
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
- 1 Peter 2:9
