Questions You Have:
- "Just wondering why Jesus told Legion to return home telling people what God had done for him, but in the next story of the young girl he told them to keep quiet?" - Great question!  Jesus frequently told people not to tell anyone after He had done a miracle for them.  Yet at the same time, He was traveling from town-to-town spreading the Good News.  For me, what I focus on is the frenzy that often developed around Christ.  The crowds would get very excited over the miracles they were seeing Him do.  They even tried at times to force Him to become king.  I think Jesus was interested in spreading the gospel around Israel (thus telling the man to go home and tell what God had done for him) while simultaneously trying to keep things from getting out of control when He had big crowds around Him reaching a fever pitch over the amazing miracles they were seeing (like with the girl raised to life).  He wanted the people to know but without the people taking charge of the ministry He was doing.
