Scripture Union Daily Guide 5th February 2026 — Outline
Demons recognize the authority of Jesus and tremble (Luke 8:28). Nobody knows how long this man has been in this situation before Jesus showed up. It is a pathetic situation. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10). Jesus still brings a turn around to every ugly situation. He is in the business of bringing relief to any soul in pain and affliction.
Read Luke 8:34-36 again. What can we learn from those tending the pigs, and those who went out to see the man that was healed? The people asked Jesus to leave their town probably because of fear and anger that their means of livelihood has been destroyed. They placed more value on the animals than human life. We sometimes behave like them when we value the things of this life more than the perishing souls. The man Jesus healed did not just receive his healing and walk away but had a genuine desire to follow Jesus everywhere He goes (Luke 8:38). What about you?
The man’s prompt obedience to Jesus’ instruction is a challenge to us today (Luke 8:39, Matthew 28:19-20).
