Indeed, we are not whole. We continue to worship an idol of war and revenge and blood. We have yet to turn to God and seek peace for that is the harder path. We would rather God put people on crosses than die on one, but that is not the God we have.

It’s good for us to remember the story we’re caught up in and we’re a part of. It’s good to remember what we are about and who and whose we are.

When reading scripture, we often picture ourselves as the hero in every story. We’re Peter, but never Judas. We’re the Samaritan, never the guy in the ditch. We’re Jesus, healing… never the woman unable to stand up straight. We’re definitely not the religious leaders complaining that Jesus healed someone at a worship service… you know… ON THE SABBATH… which you just don’t do.

We have to choose to live in the way of Christ

So is it any wonder that in some of the passages where Jesus comes in the presence of a demon-possessed person that the demon cried out at Jesus in fear and anger?
