SUMMARY:(ONLINE) THE HEALING OF LEGION | (Mark 5: 1-20) 
DESCRIPTION:(ONLINE) THE HEALING OF LEGION | (Mark 5: 1-20) In Mark’s Go
 spel\, emerges an incredible text. It’s a glimpse of a possessed man iso
 lated\, harming himself\, violent\, and living among the haunting landscap
 e of tombs\; the Greek word for ‘tomb’ can also mean ‘memory’. Mod
 ern understandings of this character called ‘Legion’ would probably se
 e 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 chao
 s\; the calm\, knowing and healing Christ who sits down beside us\, listen
 s and offers us freedom.
