Don't mess with the bottom line

Friday June 29th, Luke 8: 34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. Demons dispatched, lives set right, salvation offered, all good god stuff, but damn it Jesus, don’t mess with the economic bottom line or we will run you out of town again. Things haven’t changed much.
