“Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how He has had mercy on you.” Mark 5:19 ESV1
Read Matthew 8:28-34, Mark 5:1-20, & Luke 8:26-39
Not only did Jesus cross the Sea of Galilee to get a break from the crowds. Not only did He cross the Sea of Galilee to show His disciples He had authority over the weather. He crossed the Sea of Galilee for an even greater reason— “to proclaim liberty to the captives and … to set at liberty those who are oppressed” (Luke 4:18). The same disciples who were amazed by His authority over the wind and the waves were to be, in this next adventure, astonished at His power over bondage.
