Jesus & the Lost Cause

From time to time, the Scriptures present us with a situation so impossibly hopeless, that we wonder what can be done to bring remedy. One man’s life in Luke’s Gospel was so powerfully dominated by evil, that there appeared no hope. Jesus was not intimidated in the least. From this encounter between Jesus and the tormented man who lived in the graveyard, we are reminded that we should never consider anyone in our own lives beyond the grasp of God. Where Jesus is welcomed to bring pardon, He will soon thereafter release purpose. This message reminds all of us that the rampant power of evil in every generation will bow to the power of God. God is simply looking for those who will believe this, and then move forward din faith and breakthrough for themselves and those around them. In the end, we find that Jesus does not believe that anyone is a lost cause.
