Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Demons are powerful. Chains and shackles are useless. Demons are fearsome. Demons are numerous. Demons wreak havoc. Demons want you to believe that they're in charge. But then into the picture steps Jesus. And everything changes. In His presence, the powerful demons beg for mercy. He wreaks havoc on them and their up-until-now comfortable existence. Well, as you can imagine, when something like this happens, word gets around fast! I would think the people would have been thankful for such a change. But instead they are afraid, of Jesus, and they ask Him to leave. So why did they do it?
