14The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened. 15And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs. 17And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their region.

Mark 5:14-17, ESV.

I don’t blame them. When demons start getting in pigs, and old crazy people are suddenly doing fine, and it’s all because of that man from Nazareth.. that crazy one they call the “Messiah”.. I’d say I’d be getting pretty freaked out myself.

In other news, I am well into Your Jesus Is Too Safe. I already recommend it.
