devotional. Well, it is Friday on the Daily Drive, and we are wrapping up a very cool story

from Mark Chapter 5, where we meet a deranged and dangerous guy

who desperately needed to be unchained from his tortured life.

And he meets Jesus, the chain breaker.

And into his extremely dark life, Jesus floods his light.

Such a great story of hope.

And although we can't relate with this whole living naked among the tombs,

we can't identify with this stuckness, can't we? We can relate to the stronghold that had him in

bondage. Lots of us have been there. And lots of us have also encountered Jesus and the freedom

that only he can bring. So I love how this story ends. Verse 18 says, as Jesus was getting into the boat,

the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him.

But Jesus said, no, go home to your family.

Tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.

So the man started off to visit the ten towns of that region

known as the Decapolis and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him, and everyone

was amazed at what he told them. I like what the artist Lecrae says. If we can be honest about our

scars, we can show other people that wounds can heal.
