Jesus the Rescuer | Jeff Lynch

What happens when Jesus walks into the place everyone else is afraid to go?

In Mark 5, Jesus encounters a man who has been completely overtaken by darkness. He lives among the tombs, is isolated from everyone around him, and cannot break free from the chains that have controlled his life.

But Jesus sees something that everyone else has missed.

He sees the person beneath the pain.

In this powerful message, “Jesus, the Rescuer,” we discover four things about Jesus:

1. Jesus goes into places that others fear.

Jesus wasn't afraid to step into the cemetery. He intentionally went where others wouldn't go because there was a person there who needed Him.

2. Jesus sees the person beneath the pain.

People saw a dangerous, broken man. Jesus saw a child of God who needed to be rescued.

3. Jesus is master of whatever has mastered you.

The demons called themselves Legion, but even what appeared to be impossible was no match for King Jesus. The message reminds us that our feelings, addictions, past, loneliness and circumstances don't have the final word. Jesus does.

4. Jesus turns the rescued into rescuers.
