Why did the people ask Jesus to leave their region after they heard about the pigs?

in many places in the bible we read about the fac that even the closest to jesus at certain points show some hesitation , and that makes jesus wonder many times why their faith is so weak after seeing all that he has done, so naturally although many of the people were accepting him and believing in him, however mankind is always doubtfull of that which he doesnt understand, so seeing the control he had over the demons would surely make them fear him and his authority and power, wondering where he gets the power to rule over the demons, could it be the devil himself?mankind usually is prone to identify with evil more than what can conquere it.so it was easier for them to ask him to leave their regions rather than comprehend the consequences of what they saw.

How did the disciples` fear before the storm differ from their fear after the storm?

the first fear is the fear of death, fear of being abandoned , they obviously knew thay jesus can do something about the storm for they woke him up and asked him , Teacher, don`t you care that we are dying? surely they wanted him to do something because they had seen the miracles he had done.but with all that they had already seen it was not really easy for them to accept at face value that such a person is actually amongst them.they had faith in jesus .they did believe that they r with the son of God , but knowing this and actually seeing it with their human eyes and human understanding would make a person stunned, awe struck even if he had a faith that is based on the rock.It is the fear of being in the presence of the lord of lords who has such authority over all in this world and even nature.

What does the contrast between the small seed and huge bush teach you about the kingdom of God?

T he contrast between the small seed and the huge tree tells us that the kingdom of God is for everyone , even to those whose faith is as small as the smallest seed in a field. The mustard seed starts very small but grows to be a big bush, the mustard seed represents the Gospel, the word of God, ''as we know from the parable of the sower''so the word of God like the mustard seed starts very small and spreads and grows to reach millions throughout the world , and those are the ones who will inherit the kingdom of God.those who had that small faith in their hearts and were willing to grow bigger and bigger with /in -jesus christ. The tree offers a refuge for His faithfuls to rest in Him. The tree represents earthly greatness and refuge to the nations. The tiny mustard seed, growing to be a tree, symbolizes Jesus' offer of refuge and life in God's Kingdom
