Go!

Matthew 8:28-34

New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men

28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,[a] two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32 He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.

I thought about this one and was wondering what I could learn about Jesus from it.... and all that came to mind was free will.... when we are set on doing something Jesus will nt tie us down and hold us back.... he will let us Go.... but just because he lets us 'go' does not mean that there will not be consequences.... so before we go shouting at God, letting him know what we want and 'blubbering' like the fools we usually are..... think.... let God have his way.... and let GO! :)
