THE AFTERWORD | Matthew : Season 5 - Week 6
Title: THE AFTERWORD | Matthew (Season 5) - Week 6 - Demon-Possession, Healing and Authority
Description:
Two demon-possessed men tormenting a whole town? Jesus sending a horde of demons into a herd of pigs that then immediately drowns itself? The story of the two demon-possessed men in Matthew 8 is undoubtedly one of the strangest stories in the entire New Testament. Jay and Dave discuss the other Gospel accounts of this encounter and discuss the seeming contradictions between Matthew and Mark/Luke including 1. where this event happened and 2. how many people were possessed. We also discuss some of the more human aspects of the town’s inept initial solutions and the town’s puzzling request for “Jesus to please leave.” As always, Jesus is out disrupting things.
Speakers: David Tieche + Jay Kim
