Rev. Tom Are preaches that Mark 5:1-20 is one of the strangest stories in Mark’s Gospel. There is a man described as being possessed by a legion of demons. It’s hard to know exactly what that means, but the consequence is that to his community he is as good as dead. But when Jesus comes to him, he looks through the chaos and sees a human being. Jesus gives this demon-possessed outcast his life back, or better said, he gives him a life he never knew he had. Some might call it resurrection.
