    Illus: This passage reminds me of the story of the fellow that went to the doctor.

    JESUS HAD MANY CHALLENGES IN HIS MINISTRY AND FACED UNPRECIDENTED REJECTION. AFTER HEALING A MAN BY DRIVING OUT LEGIONS OF DEMONS, LUKE 8:37, TELLS US THAT “…ALL THE PEOPLE FROM THAT TERRITORY ASKED JESUS TO GO AWAY, BECAUSE THEY WERE TERRIBLY AFRAID.
