The event was over, Jesus had been rejected by the townspeople and He was preparing to get into the boat. But the man who had been demon-possessed, now had a new life and he wanted to follow Jesus. “Not so!” Jesus said. “You must return to your home and tell your family and neighbors and everybody you meet what Jesus has done for you.” The man did as instructed and the people of Decapolis were amazed. The task for this missionary was considerable, because the citizens were steeped in pagan traditions. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Mark 5:18-20]
