Rev Ben Fitzgerald-Fye

Jesus was confronted with a man who was suffering, suffering not just bodily, but in his soul, in his brain, everywhere. And his response, Christ's response, was very different from the people who had placed this man in a cemetery in chains. Jesus didn't say a word when the scene first begins. He did, however, stay there. He stood there, he listened. He stayed engaged with this, in this case, creature that was talking to him, right? So the first act of deliverance for this tormented man was being noticed, was being seen. Was somebody noticing that suffering was happening to a fellow human being? Somebody was in need, deserving of help and hope and healing.
