Mat 8:34 | MHM | STEP | v. 34 : The whole town went out to meet Jesus, but instead of welcoming him, they begged him to leave their region. They were more concerned about losing their pigs than about the healing of the two men. This teaches that some people reject Jesus because they care more about their possessions or comfort than about God’s power and mercy. It is a warning not to let material things come between us and Christ.
