About Us. Luke 8:26-39. Demons And Pigs - The Gerasenes Demoniac

We’re going to be talking about Luke chapter 8 today and the story of the Gerazines's demoniac and some pigs but when studying the Gospel of Luke and this applies to the book of Acts as well It’s important to take note of what Luke says his methodology is in writing in the opening sentences of his gospel.

 Luke tells us that many have written about the events of Jesus life so we might ask the question well then Luke why did you think you had to write another gospel well he goes on to tell us why and he says that he has investigated everything in the life of Jesus very carefully he's used eyewitnesses accounts and other resources in order to write an orderly sequential account so that readers might know the truth or that is have the security in the things which they have been taught about Jesus

So, we note that when we read the Gospel of Luke at least from Luke's perspective it's in a purposeful order and we should consider that order and the context in which Luke puts things and his method of organizing events now we also note that Luke states that he wrote to give his readers a certain Theophilus and Greekeaking. 

let's note three instances of that in chapter 8:20 through 25 Jesus demonstrates his power and authority over nature and over

creation in chapter 8: 26- 39 Jesus demonstrates his power and authority over the spirit world and the minions of the evil one then in chapter 8:40-56. Jesus demonstrates his power and authority over disease and death then after his disciples have seen and witness Jesus demonstrations of his power and authority Jesus sends out the disciples and grants them to participate in that same power and authority that he has demonstrated thus the disciples go forth confidently with the power they've clearly seen demonstrated by Jesus and they can now boldly proclaim the gospel of the kingdom of God so understanding that context we will focus on Luke 8 and 26-39
