When we are in trouble and the Lord helps us out of our mess, how would we respond? Some of us may think that we had had a lucky escape. Some may begin to think that it was actually through our own effort that we managed to get out of trouble. However, how many of us would be genuinely grateful to God for His help?
In today's Gospel, the demoniac begged to be allowed to stay with Jesus. But Jesus would not let him but said to him, ‘Go home to your people and tell them all that the Lord in his mercy has done for you.’ In this way, the demoniac was preaching the Good News by sharing his story with his people, instead of keeping it to himself and clinging on to Jesus. If we are in a similar situation, would we be excited to share the Good News with others? Would we be grateful and thankful of God's mercy?
