They Wanted Jesus To Leave
Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.(Mark 5:17)
The next verse is most revealing, for it shows that Jesus never spoke even one word of correction for them to reconsider the horrible mistake they were making. He just left like they wanted:
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. (Mark 5:18)
Jesus simply turned away and moved on from their area, as they requested! On the other hand, Jairus wanted Jesus to come with him and heal his daughter. He likewise did it:
Then one of the synagogue rulers, named Jairus, came there. Seeing Jesus, he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.” So Jesus went with him. (Mark 5:22-24)
When was the last time you told the Lord you love him, want him to stay close by and never leave you? Heb. 13:8 says Jesus doesn’t change.
