Freedom (Mark 5 v1-20)

In 722AD a bishop called Boniface was given the task of taking the gospel to the pagans east of the Rhine in central Germany. When he reached his destination  ,there stood a great oak,sacred to the  people there,they saw it as a fearsome god,whose hammer blows could split mountains.Boniface  chopped it down.Then ,with its timbers he built a church. The fact that nothing happened to  Boniface freed them from  the worship of that false god,and they turned to Christ,the Bible tells us that Israel worshipped god's who were not gods.The  world is full of so many god's who are not god's.God's that can do nothing for them,but enslave them,and take them to a lost eternity. In Colossians 2v 15 we read that Christ through His death on the cross and His resurrection ,triumphed over evil forces,defeating  them making a public spectacle of them.Turn from your false gods and turn to  Christ ,he can free you,from their power and bondage.
