Fired Up!

In reading of the miracle that Jesus did when he cast the legion of demons out of a man, it is absolutely awful how this man was enslaved by Satan and how that caused him to live. This man had these demons for a long time. He was tormented to the place that he wore no clothing, sat crying and cutting himself with stones, had been bound with fetters and chains (although with superhuman strength he broke loose), lived in the tombs and not a house, and was so fierce that no man could pass close to the tombs. After Jesus had cast the demons out of him, the man sat clothed and in his right mind and wanted to go with Jesus. Who could blame him, but Jesus told him in Mark 5:19-20, "Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel." All men marveled and well they should have. When God takes the vilest of sinners and saves and delivers him, it is certain that his friends would marvel when they saw that he was totally changed. To be transformed by God fires one to the point that they just have to tell all who will listen. Was our salvation experience to the point that it fired us up? I do hope so. I also hope that we are still fired up.
