Among the Tombs
Students may read Mark 5:1-20
Jesus and the disciples came ashore near a cliff on the Sea of Galilee. There, they met a man who lived alone among the tombs. People were afraid of him because he acted wildly. They had even tried to restrain him with chains. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. Jesus spoke to the man and his mind was restored. Suddenly, a herd of swine rushed over the cliff to their deaths. Everyone believed that a legion of devils had left the man and entered into the swine.
Discussion Questions
In an age of science, we aren’t likely to to say that someone has a devil. What might we say instead? Jesus proclaimed a saving message about the love of God for each and every person. How does this help someone who has a troubled mind?
