Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 8:32-33

"Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave. And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned." — Luke 8:32-33 (ASV)

Our proverb says, "They run hard whom the devil drives;" and once he begins to drive men or swine, there is no end to their running until they are choked in the deep. Woe to that man, then, who yields himself up to the tyrant master! Oh, seek the grace that will enable you to fling him off, never to come under his dread sway again! Better still, pray the blessed Prince of Peace to cast out the black prince of hell, and Himself to rule over your spirit, soul, and body.
