Afraid to see Jesus?

Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.” For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.) Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.
(Luke 8:26-37 ESV)
Jesus had entered into a territory where spiritual darkness prevailed.  As He encountered the deepest of darkness, a man driven by demons, the man saw Him and fell before home. The man was caught in a battle for his soul. When Christ wins the battle with His Word, the man is left restored. Others come to see, and when the see the man, and see Jesus, they are afraid.  Rather than cheering and celebrating because the man was healed, and they were freed from his menacing behavior, they instead beg Jesus to leave.  They do not want to have Him around, to even see Him.  Do we really want to see Jesus? Do we want Him to come? Or would we rather Him leave our lives alone???
