What Does Luke 8:26 Mean?
The boat comes ashore in the country of the Gadarenes, across the water from Galilee. It is largely Gentile country, a region of strangers, tombs, and herds of swine.
Jesus said, let us go over, and over they have come, storm notwithstanding. He crosses the cultural boundary as deliberately as He crossed the water. The whole voyage, squall and all, lands one boat on a foreign shore where a single ruined man is waiting. Heaven counts such a journey worth making for one soul.
