Luke 8:26-39
Key Verse 8:39
1. Describe the man who met Jesus at the region of the Gerasenes. (26-27; 29) What does the Bible say about the demons? (Ephesians 2:1-2; 6:12)
2. Instead of coming out of the man at the command of Jesus, how did the demons respond? (28-29a)
3. Why did Jesus ask his name? (30) Think about three aspects: (1) restoring the man’s identity; (2) separating the man from the demons; (3) identifying the demons so that Jesus may assert his authority.
4. Why did Jesus allow the demons to go into the pigs who then ran off the cliff and drowned? (31-33) Why were the people of Gerasenes overcome with fear? (34-37)
5. What did the man freed from the demons beg of Jesus? (38) For what purpose did Jesus send him away? (39) Think of what Jesus has done for you.
