THE HEALING OF LEGION | Mark 5: 1-20

(ONLINE) The Healing of Legion | (Mark 5: 1-20)

In Mark’s Gospel emerges an incredible text. It’s a glimpse of a possessed man isolated, harming himself, violent, and living among the haunting landscape of tombs; the Greek word for ‘tomb’ can also mean ‘memory’. Modern understandings of this character called ‘Legion’ would probably see him as suffering from PTSD.

Then the brave, discerning, healer Christ crosses the sea to face the man’s belligerent demons… and later, the villagers are amazed at the man’s transformation. This encounter of such hope will provide a potent space in which to invite Christ into our chaos, the calm, knowing and healing Christ who sits down beside us, listens and offers us freedom.
