The Sinner's Wisest Course
Mark 5:6
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,


The demoniac was all in confusion, for he was under contending influences: his own spirit and the evil spirit strove together. He ran towards Jesus, and worshipped Him; and yet in the same breath he cried, "What have I to do with Thee?" Thus are sinners tossed about. But it is the sinner's wisest course to run to Jesus; for —

1. He is the Son of the Most High God.

2. He is the great Enemy of our enemy, the devil.

3. He is abundantly able to drive out a legion of devils.

4. He can cause us to be clothed in our right mind.

5. He permits us, even now, to draw near and worship Him.

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
