C30: The Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C (2016)

Rolf Jacobson

“In today’s long reading from Luke 8:26-56, Jesus crosses three different boundaries to save three very different people from three very different crises. In each case, he restored that saved person to his/her community,” begins Dr. Rolf Jacobson, Professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He continues, “The God who draws near to us in Jesus Christ, draws radically near, intruding into this world for the purpose of salvation and deliverance from evil.” From what do you need to be saved or delivered? Listen and find out how Christ can restore you to your community.
