Would you ever tell Jesus “no”? In our reading last week, we read the story of Jesus healing the demon possessed man.   There are references through out the gospels of Jesus healing others who were demon possessed, but this man was so crazy that he earned 13 verses to tell his story (Luke 8: 26-39).
