Man of the Tombs (Part 2)

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In "Man of the Tombs (Part 2)", Steve Gregg explores the motivations behind the demons' request to be sent into the pigs in the biblical story of the man possessed by demons. While it remains unclear why the demons preferred to inhabit the pigs and why they chose to harm themselves, Gregg suggests that the story serves as a symbolic illustration of Jesus' total authority and sovereignty over both the outward circumstances that threaten us and the inward struggles that keep us bound. Ultimately, Jesus' power transcends our limitations and sets us free.
