Identity Crisis

First Baptist Dandridge TN

Identity Crisis 

Read Mark 5:1-20 (Liberation from Legions)

• This is the story of the Gerosene Man
• This story is about isolation
• The Gerosene man was alone and out of control
• Everyone of us is under spiritual attack like this man
• Even if on the outside we look fine, on the inside we can look like this man
• V.6 Legion was known as a sinful name
• What name do we identify ourselves with? 
• When people hear your name do they identify it with sin? Like Legion?
• Jesus then sends the demons to the pigs- the pigs dive off the cliff into the ocean (v. 11-13)
• This is Jesus shining light on the darkness that us around (Legions being dark)
• The Gerosene man’s life is changed! (v.15)
• What happens overall? 
• 2 Major Points:

       

1. The man is saved and has peace

2. Jesus’s saving grace is advanced in the region (Like how we should evangelize) 

** This is a great story of Jesus’s saving grace! We all have inner demons that can only be sent out with His saving grace. What a great story! Jesus is Love! (John 3:16)
