Mk5

Jesus is Lord over every aspect of life: demonic power, sickness and death. In this one chapter we see His power manifested over all of these aspects of life.

Satan is a work in our world today. We might not experience his work to the same degree in which Jesus did (after all Satan knew who Jesus was and was determined to destroy Him), but certainly all of us has encountered someone or something in our lives that is pure evil. It seems as though Satan is continuing to gain ground in our culture.

We also seem to be overrun by sickness! The woman in this chapter exhausted the doctor's knowledge and her personal resources. Then she "touched" Jesus and was healed. Jesus still heals sickness. We should go to Him first!

As certainly as Jesus can cast out demons and heal the sick, He can still raise the dead! His concern is primarily with our spiritual death, not our physical death. Every day He is still raising people from the dead! He brings life where death had previously ruled.

We should lean into Jesus' power today for whatever situation we face.
