BOUND BY SATAN?
(6 of 12)
Meet Jesus
Mark 5:1
We are looking today at Jesus, the One and Only in
this series of messages I call, "Meet Jesus."
I love
it when I get on these passages and these series of
messages that focus in on our wonderful Lord Jesus
Christ.
When you are preaching Jesus you are doing
good preaching.
I don't care who is doing it.
A lot of
people can preach Jesus better than I can, but they
can't preach a better Jesus than I can.
We are going to look at the first 20 verses of Mark 5,
but I will just read a few verses at the beginning.
Anywhere you look in the 5th chapter of Mark you have
an account of those who meet Jesus.
There are three
beautiful pictures of people meeting Jesus in Mark 5.
One is about the little girl who was 12 years old and
she had died.
Jesus raised her again from the dead
and the first person she saw was Jesus—she met Jesus.
Then here is the account about the woman who had an
incurable disease and she meets Jesus in this chapter.
Then there is this man who bound by Satan.
All three
of these instances might be considered to be incurable
cases.
The little girl was on her way to the cemetery
for burial.
The woman was on her way to a home for the
terminally ill.
Of course, the man was on his way to
an insane asylum.
All three of these impossible cases
until they meet Jesus Christ.
When you look at this 5th chapter you will find also
that it serves as a clinic of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In every one of these instances, when they meet Jesus,
the problems, the difficulties, the tragedies going on
in their lives is resolved by an experience in which
they meet the Lord Jesus Christ.
This morning we are going to focus on this man we know
commonly as Legend.
This man is bound by Satan.
As you
read the verses of Scripture you will discover that he
has lost just about everything.
He has lost his family
and his friends.
He has lost his sanity.
He has lost
his self-control.
He has lost his decency.
He has lost
his humanity.
He is living like an animal.
He is
crying out, running all over the mountainside like an
animal.
He is cutting himself with stones.
This man is
bound by Satan.
He has lost everything and he
desperately needs to meet Jesus.
There may be some of you here today who are bound by
Satan and you need to meet Jesus.
Perhaps you know
someone today and it seems as if Satan has taken
charge of their life and you and I know that they
desperately need to meet the Lord Jesus Christ.
I want us to talk about it this morning.
The first
thing I want to talk about is the man.
These opening
verses tell us about this man and one of the reasons
we are doing this is because the examples of these
kind of people who meet Jesus remind us of what it
means to be lost and what it means to be apart from
God and what it means for Satan to hold sway over a
life.
This man is an illustration of what it means to
be lost.
I.
The MAN- A Miserable Soul.
The first think you notice about this man is that he
is demented.
The Bible says that he comes out of the
tomb and he is a man with an unclean spirit.
Here is a
man who is insane.
We know that because over in verse
15 we are told that after Jesus touched him he was in
his right mind.
That means before Jesus touched him he
was out of his right mind.
