Jesus and the Walking Dead

The idea of zombies is a current fad in entertainment.  But did Jesus ever encounter the walking dead?  Mark tells the story of Jesus' encounter with a demon-possessed man.  He lived a life in darkness living in a culture which did not know God while being possessed by demons.  The community rejected the man, but not Jesus.  Christians today can easily dismiss many in the World.  But we need to be careful to practice Jesus' mercy.
