When we become followers of Christ, we often use words to describe that change - that we are saved, born again, or that we are a new creation.

Today's message is brought to us by Duncan Barlow, and it's a story about that change, although not exactly how you might think at first.

It's the story of the Gerasenes Demoniac and how Jesus saved and transformed his life.  When Jesus and his disciples crossed the Sea of Galilee into the region of the Gerasenes, they met a violent, tormented man who lived among the burial tombs. He was so strong that chains and shackles could not hold him, and he constantly cried out and cut himself.

But after Jesus drove out the demons that possessed him into a herd of pigs, the man was found sitting calmly, fully clothed, and in his right mind.

Duncan Barlow is the minister of the Indonesian and Multicultural Presbyterian Church who meet at Scot's Presbyterian Church on Bellevue Terrace in Clayfield.
