The Message
This passage has always intrigued me by the way it starts. The madman comes up to Jesus. The madman has been rejected by every community, and yet he finds hope in Jesus. All other hope has fled, some of it restraining him in chains, but he's not afraid of Jesus. There is something about Jesus. And when he approaches Jesus, he isn't disappointed -- his hope is well-placed.
Friends, if everything else in the world has rejected you, know there is still hope in Jesus. If all else has fallen apart, don't be afraid to run to Jesus. He won't reject you. Your hope is not misplaced in him. He will not turn from you in your moment of need. Trust in Him, and you will find open arms.
