When Jesus crosses into non-Jewish territory, he encounters a man possessed by a legion of demons. This man is tormented, outcast, and seemingly beyond help until Jesus arrives. Jesus restores the man but the demons destroy a herd of pigs in the process. Rather than respond with faith, the crowds respond in fear and ask Jesus to leave. Do we also ask for God's help, only to resist when we realize the cost? The healed man does respond with faith and the story of Jesus' mercy spreads throughout the lands beyond Israel.
