Do you ever check the traffic before you leave the house, to ensure you don't end up caught in traffic and inconvenienced?
What if you knew there'd be a crazy naked man at the end of your journey? I'm willing to bet you'd find an alternate route to avoid that.
Jesus doesn't. Remember -- Jesus knows everything, so he knew exactly who would be waiting for him when he ended up in the country of the Gerasenes.
He went anyway. He went directly into the heart of the chaos that evil causes in our lives. This is what sin wants for all of us -- to separate us and destroy us. To each and every one of us, Jesus shows up, bringing healing and grace.
