Pleading with Him to leave

Matthew 8:34- Then the whole town went to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.

How many times have we pleaded with Jesus to leave because something he did was strange, frightening or out of the ordinary? How many times have I? It is easy to condemn these people, but they just witnessed evil spirits come out a two men and into a herd of pigs that then went and jumped into the river.  Would I have asked him to leave? How many times in church have I felt uneasy or awkward because of something going on that I thought was strange?

How much have I missed of Jesus because I was uncomfortable with what he did or was doing?
