However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you. And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.

And now admonition brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ
Aaron Cozort:
Jesus at one time cast a Legion of demons out of a man who was possessed by them, who was living in terrible conditions because of these demons, who, who was uncontrolled in his own life because of these demons. And after Jesus cast them out, this man pleaded with Jesus. I want to go with you, Jesus said, no. He instead sent him on his own mission. We read in Mark Chapter five verse 19 however, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, go home to your friends and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you and how he has had compassion on you. And he departed and began to proclaim and the Decapolis, all that Jesus had done for him and all marveled. We may not always get what we ask for from the Lord, but what we will get is an opportunity to serve. And that's what this man did.
