Fear and the Kingdom (Matthew 8:28-34)

May 26, 2013 Speaker: Dr. David Silvernail Series: The King and His Kingdom! - A Series in the Book of Matthew

Topic: Sermons Passage: Matthew 8:28–8:34

Well, after looking at one of the most well-known stories about Jesus last week, this week we're looking at one of the least-understood stories about Jesus -- the casting out of demons at the end of Matthew 8. Why two demon-possessed men? Why send them into pigs? Why is Jesus in a Gentile area? And why didn't the people there like Him? Lots of questions and very few answers in this text -- so why is it here? What are we supposed to learn from it?

The last passage ended with a question too -- Matthew 8:27, "What sort of man is this?" Well, I think this passage is starting to answer that question. What sort of man is Jesus? And that's a good question for us to consider as we look at this strange and difficult passage. Strange and difficult - I think I've been described that way -- can't understand why? We probably won't answer that last question this week, but we will learn more about Jesus! See you Sunday, Dr. Dave
