I read Luke 8:26-39 this morning. It is the account of Jesus setting a man free from demon possession. It is a dramatic event that not only affected the man, but the whole region of the Gerasenes. I never get tired of reading about the power of Jesus over everything.
Later, I read this in a commentary and it really spoke to me: "If demons could possess a man with such power, what might not Christ do if we yielded ourselves absolutely to him!"

I want to know what Jesus could do if he had absolute license to my life. How about you?
What if...indeed!
