All the town came out to meet Jesus.

And when they saw him they begged him to leave their region.

I suppose this message is too for us.

Our rejections are legion.

How many times, determined.

Do you do a good turn.

And you are not thanked.

But we must continue to learn.

The people could not leave the town,

Then Jesus cured the demoniacs.

They continued to frown.

Is it compassion they lack

Perhaps some thankfulness.

Or gratefulness or self awareness.

…….

They looked for Jesus

He had done them a favour

And then they asked him to leave

……

See Matthew 8 : 28 – 34
