And when she went to her house, she found the demon gone out, and the girl lying on the bed.
The woman returns and sees the peaceful fruit of the miracle that had been done, that is, she sees exactly the situation the Lord had spoken of. The demon had gone out, and the girl was lying calmly on the bed. In that episode it was a comforting contrast between the former demonic turmoil and the present peace brought by Christ. Where there had been torment before, there is now rest. Where the presence of darkness had been, there is now freedom. This episode shows that Christ’s work is real, complete, and sure. He not only promises, but truly sets free. The woman’s faith becomes a joyful testimony in her home. When God acts, His grace does not bring vague feelings, but brings full deliverance and establishes peace.
