About

hey everyone. welcome to my blog. enjoy some reading about various thoughts that are making their way out of my head.

thoughts on Mark 1.29-34

You know what I love about these verses is the community mindset. Look at 32 and 33, "That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door..."
Everyone in the town had heard about Jesus' synagogue incident. All the townspeople were convinced that Jesus was the one who could heal people from their sickness and uncleanliness.

They recognized Jesus' authority, but that's not what impresses me.
They cared about people.
They saw people who were sick and imprisoned by an evil spirit and they wanted to help them. They wanted them to be healed.
This challenges me.
The clean helping the unclean. They don't come to Jesus for themselves, they have seen and they want others to see this incredible authority that has power over disease and demons.
