A study of an encounter that Jesus had with a man who was desperate. He had reasons to be desperate. He was hurting. He was helpless and he was hopeless. He was in the same place some of you are right now. You are about to file for bankruptcy, in the middle of losing your marriage, you have a son or a daughter helplessly and hopelessly addicted to drugs or alcohol. Life is just not working out for you and you are desperate. Jesus specializes in people like you.
