In Luke 8:26–39, we witness 4 encounters through which Jesus exercises divine power and authority over the spiritual realm. I. Jesus encounters a tormented man (vs. 26–27, 29). II. Jesus engages and dispatches a legion of demons with divine power and authority (vs. 28, 30–33). III. Jesus receives a disbelieving crowd that fears and rejects Him because of His divine power and authority (vs. 34–37). IV. Jesus redirects a saved and healed man to proclaim His power and authority rather than follow Him (vs. 38–39).
