Jesus, gets out of the boat in the Region of the Gerasenes. A man comes from the tombs to meet him. No one was strong enough to subdue the man. They would chain him up and he would break the chains off his hands and his feet. Mark 5:5 says, "Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones." He was a man with an evil spirit--demon possessed. You and I would be terrified if this man ran up to us.
He ran up to Jesus and fell on his knees and shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?"
Jesus' enemy bowed before him and called him "Son of God." Not only that, he proclaimed God as the "Most High God."
Jesus was recognized by his enemy who identified him as the Son of God. His enemy bowed, calling him Lord. This story confirms what James says, "You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder" (James 2:19).
How are you doing proclaiming him as Lord?
