Matthew 8:30-34 - And there was a large herd of pigs feeding some distance away. And the demons cried, if you cast us out, send us into that herd of swine. And Jesus said, "Go." And the demons went into the pigs and the whole herd was cast down the cliff and drowned in the water. And the swineherds ran into the city and told the people. The people came from the city and saw what had happened with the pigs and they begged him to leave their region.
Every time I read this story, I think of all that food just being thrown away. Sure, it wasn't food for Jesus and the disciples. It was food for the Gentiles ... No wonder they didn't want him around!
So, why does Jesus grant them their wish? Maybe it is better into the pigs than into other humans?
