I torment. But Don't Torment me (yet) Luke 8:31 (Episode #72)

I torment. But Don't Torment me (yet) Luke 8:31

Today's passage has Jesus confronting evil.  We meet a legion of demons in a man living across the sea of Galilee.  The demons though powerful and nasty, have met their match in Jesus.  It is not a fair fight.  Jesus wins with a word.

Before He does, there is a bit of a conversation from this evil world.  We find the demons perfectly willing to torment this man, to gang up on him with legions, to have him run around naked, amidst desert and tombs, freaking out his townspeople, breaking chains and many times seizing him.  In a word, they torment him and the town.  Yet, curiously, they ask not to be TORMENTED.  Or at least not YET.

Listen.  Today you will hear from an unclean spirit by the name of Legion.
