Luke 8:39 - Did you read that too fast?
Jesus speaking to the demon-possessed man He had just healed.
"Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.Don't read it too fast. Read it one more time to see if you get it.
"Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.There's a parallel in the two sentences. Let me show you with some formatting:
"Return to your home,Return to your home = went away
and declare
how much
God
has done for you."
And he went away,
proclaiming throughout the whole city
how much
Jesus
had done for him.
declare = proclaiming
how much = how much
GOD = JESUS
has done for you = had done for him
It's a great little signal flare from Luke, telling us of the divinity of Jesus. But you miss it if you read too quickly.

I agree - very nice westy. Thanks!
Or maybe the guy disobeyed Jesus by giving him glory instead of God. What an ungrateful...
