4 LESSON ONE Miraculous Signs in the North PERSONAL NOTES: FTM EPISODE 6 (00:00 min. - 13:41 min.) Before watching the episode, brainstorm with your group about the miracles you remember Jesus performing. What details do you remember? In the remaining space below, record any personal notes or questions that come to your mind as you watch the episode. DISCUSSION From Jesus first public miracle when He turned water into wine at the Cana wedding (John 2:1-12), the supernatural deeds of Christ were not mere parlor tricks meant to amaze and astound the crowds. They were signs pointing to truths about the identity and mission of the One who performed them. This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory (John 2:11). Let s examine a couple of the signs Jesus performed in Galilee and see what they indicated about our Lord.!4

5 JESUS DRAMATICALLY DELIVERED TWO SEVERELY DEMON-POSSESSED MEN Mark 5:1-20 1They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. 3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, 4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, What have you to do with me, LAND OF THE GERASENES Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me. 8 For he was saying to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit! 9 And Jesus asked him, What is your name? He replied, My name is Legion, for we are many. 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, Send us to the pigs; let us enter them. 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and In the Old Testament, the land the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the east of the Sea of Galilee was steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea. called Bashan (Joshua 21:27, 14 The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. Amos 4:1). By New Testament And people came to see what it was that had happened. times, this area and the land a 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed little southward was called the man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed land of the Gadarenes or the and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 And those who l a n d o f t h e G e r a s e n e s, had seen it described to them what had happened to the depending on the Bible demon-possessed man and to the pigs. 17 And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their region. 18 As he was getting translation (Mark 5:1; Luke into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons 8:26). Steep cliffs characterize begged him that he might be with him. 19 And he did not this eastern shoreline. During permit him but said to him, Go home to your friends and tell the afternoon, sunlight reflects them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has off of these cliffs to provide a had mercy on you. 20 And he went away and began to beautiful view across the sea. proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled. In any Bible class on the subject, one of the most memorable miracles taught is the casting of Legion into the herd of swine. The miracle is shocking! It is grand in scale from the man who is possessed by a multitude of demons (who identified themselves in the plural with the name Legion, a Roman military unit which typically had 5,000 soldiers), to the size of the herd of swine that drowned (2,000).!5

6 The miracle gets our imaginations racing: how could so many demons possess someone?! What did it sound like, look like, and smell like when 2,000 pigs raced into the sea? Three of the gospel accounts contain the healing of two demoniacs who lived in the tombs outside of town (Matthew 8:28-34; Mark. 5:1-20; Luke. 8:26-37). Mark shared more details than the others, even though he focused on the healing of one demoniac to the exclusion of the second (Mark 5:2). There are many important lessons God intends for us to learn from this text, of which four stand out: 1. This is a powerful example of Christ overcoming spiritual forces hostile to God and mankind! Notice the stark contrast between the demoniac s condition prior to Jesus arriving and then after he had been delivered: he had been living amongst the dead in tombs, he was naked, he was wildly not in control of himself, and he was alone and hurting. After Jesus intervened the people from town found the demoniac sitting there, clothed and in his right mind (Mark 5:15). It was this, not the dead swine that shocked and terrified them! Besides that, when Jesus left, the demoniac moved away from the isolation of the tombs and back into town with his neighbors and friends. He was no longer alone and separated from people. 2. This is also a great text to emphasize the inherent evangelistic responsibility/privilege of those who have been delivered by God. Jesus instruction to the delivered man is one every believer should follow: Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you (Mark 5:19). 3. Contextually, all of Mark 5 is a testament to the fact that Jesus cares about all people. He delivered a Gentile demoniac, He healed a perpetually unclean Israelite woman, and He raised a 12-year-old girl from the dead! 4. More than that, the immediate text highlights the lengths to which Jesus would go to deliver just one person! More needs to be said about the 4th point. Did you ever notice that the stormy crossing of the Sea of Galilee is how Jesus got to the demoniac (Mark 4:35-41), and that upon helping him, Jesus got right back into the boat and returned to Capernaum on the other side of the sea? Jesus didn't just get into a boat one day for the sole purpose of miraculously demonstrating His divine power over creation. In Mark's account, He made a round trip boat-ride for the sake of one demon-oppressed Gentile. What does it say about Jesus that He was willing to do that? Making the connection between Christ's stormy crossing of the sea in order to reach one person reminds us of Matthew 23:15 but in reverse. In that verse Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for traveling "over sea and land" to make a single, hypocritical proselyte. But flip that verse around. If people with the selfish motives of the Pharisees were willing to go to such impressive lengths to impact someone, then to what lengths should someone with genuine, loving motives go to!6

7 deliver someone? The healing of the demoniac is a real life example of Jesus' parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:1-7) in which He tells the story of a shepherd, who out of his great concern for the well-being of a single, lost sheep was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to safely bring it back to the fold. The deliverance of the Gerasene demoniac was an incredible sign of the gracious length to which our powerful Lord will go to deliver someone from oppression! JESUS MIRACULOUSLY FED 5,000 PEOPLE Matthew 14: Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. 14 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves. 16 But Jesus said, They need not go away; you give them something to eat. 17 They said to him, We have only five loaves here and two fish. 18 And he said, Bring them here to me. 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and BETHSAIDA were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. Several of Jesus miracles were meant to help people recognize His divinity: from the healing of the paralytic and forgiving his sins (Matthew 9:1-8) to His supernatural control over the wind and the sea (Mark 4:35-41). Another sign that highlighted the divinity of Jesus was His miraculous feeding of thousands of people following the death of John the Baptist and the return of the apostles from their limited commission (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14). The text informs us that Jesus wanted to get away by Himself and also provide some down time for the apostles after the busyness of traveling the area teaching and performing miracles. To accomplish that He got into a boat to sail to a different shore on the Sea of Galilee. Luke specifies that they went to a desolate place near the town of Bethsaida (Luke 9:10), the birthplace of Andrew, Peter and Philip (John 1:44). However, by the time He arrived, the crowds seeking Him had raced around the lake and arrived ahead of Him. Out of selfless compassion, He spent all day teaching until it grew The city of Bethsaida was along the northeast corner of the Sea of Galilee. Although the exact location of the city of Bethsaida is often debated, most historians generally agree that the large nearby plain is the probable location where Jesus fed the 5,000. This area not only matches the geographical descriptions in the Bible, but it also would easily support the large group of people.!7

8 too late to secure food for such a large number of people. Jesus briefly conversed with the apostles to help them understand the impossibility of their situation: We have no more than five loaves and two fish (Luke 9:13). The apostles were instructed to sort the crowd into smaller groups and have them sit. After He looked into heaven and blessed the meager meal, Jesus continued breaking the food into pieces for the apostles to distribute until everyone was completely satisfied and twelve baskets of food were left over! The miraculous signs of Jesus pointed to various things: some demonstrated His power over quality (turning water to wine), some His power over nature (calming the storm and walking on water), and this miracle demonstrated Jesus divine power over quantity (multiplying little into much). More than that John helps us understand that the Jewish followers of Jesus believed that miraculously providing food was evidence that the prophet who was to come like Moses, another Israelite leader who helped provide food, had arrived (John 6:22-35; Deuteronomy 18:15; Acts 3:22)! The miraculous feeding of thousands was a sign that pointed to both the divinity of God and the fulfillment of a millennia-old prophecy about the arrival of a Moses-like deliverer. If you had been present in Galilee during the ministry of Jesus, would you have understood what the miraculous signs of Jesus revealed about Him, or would you have focused on the physical benefits of the miracles themselves? QUESTIONS 1. Compare your first impressions of the two miracles Jesus performed in Galilee with what you studied today. Have your impressions changed at all? If so, how? 2. What details from these two miracles stand out to you the most? Why? 3. Understanding that the miracles of Jesus were signs pointing to truths about Him, contextually, what did each of these signs indicate?!8

9 APPLICATION Not everyone who originally witnessed the miraculous signs could see past their miraculous nature to comprehend what they actually indicated about Jesus. Let s consider the responses Mark reported of the healing of the demoniac. When Jesus stepped out of the boat, the demons residing within the man recognized Jesus for who He was and addressed Him as the Son of the Most High God! Yet then they begged Him to allow them to stay in the country. They didn t benefit in any way from their understanding of who Jesus was. Likewise, when the local townspeople heard the report of the herdsmen, they rushed to the scene and witnessed the transformed demoniac firsthand. Yet, they were terrified and begged Jesus to leave them! They acknowledged that something supernatural had occurred, but instead of trying to make sense of it, they rejected the person who had enough power to save the neighbor they themselves had been powerless to help. Finally, there was the response of the demoniac himself who begged to accompany Jesus as He prepared to sail away. What a powerful example! The one who had been delivered wanted to leave behind everything that was familiar to him and stay close to the Deliverer! At that time Jesus told him to remain behind in order to tell everyone what God had done for him. Of those three responses, which have you chosen? Have you begged to comfortably continue on your way like the demons? Like the neighbors, have you fearfully begged Jesus to leave you alone with what is familiar? Or have you been delivered by Jesus and desire nothing else than to stay close to Him? Take a moment to write a prayer expressing your desire and your response to the miraculous signs you have studied today, and if necessary communicate your repentance for your past responses, expressing your commitment to faithfully believe in who Jesus is.!9
