Most folks are afraid of change. Many are also afraid of anyone who has the power to change them. Because the crowd couldn't explain how Jesus had power over a legion of demons possessing a man, they were afraid and asked Jesus to leave. Unfortunately, we often do the same thing, but usually not so abruptly by overtly saying to Jesus, "Please leave me alone." No, we do it by ignoring his presence, staying away from his word, and associating with people who help drown out the voice of Jesus in our hearts. Please, don't turn Jesus away. Don't ask him to leave. Draw near to him. Seek him. Follow him. And anticipate what he can do in your life!
