Can you imagine?

Sadly, yes I can.  This is the story of Jesus casting demons out of the guy in to the pigs.  All the people come out to see Jesus and what do they do?

Luke 8:34-37(NKJV)

When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. 

Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 

They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed. 

Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

They had Jesus right there in their midst and the people ask Him to take a hike, to leave.  I look at that and think how crazy is this?  Jesus heals a guy that nobody else could heal and instead of being grateful and asking Jesus to stay they want him to leave. 

Sadly it happens all the time even today.  Think of all the people who have heard of Jesus and even witnessed His miracles in their own lives or in the lives of people they know and yet instead of embracing Jesus they reject Him.

Sad.  Really sad.
