Mark Chapter 5

This chapter is filled with powerful encounters—each revealing who Jesus truly is. We see Him casting out demons, healing the sick, and even raising the dead. In every situation, one truth stands out: Jesus has absolute authority over all things, yet He meets people with deep compassion.

Consider the man possessed by a legion of demons. His life was a nightmare—isolated, tormented, and beyond human help. But when he met Jesus, everything changed. The demons that had controlled him fled at a single command. Moments later, the man sat clothed and in his right mind, completely restored. Jesus then told him to go home and share what God had done for him.

Next, we meet a woman who had suffered for twelve years. No doctor could heal her, and society had cast her aside. But she reached out in faith, believing that just touching Jesus’ robe would make her well. And it did. Jesus, knowing what had happened, didn’t let her slip away unnoticed. He called her “daughter,” affirming her worth and faith.

Finally, we see Jesus entering a home filled with grief. A little girl had died. Yet, with just a word, Jesus brought her back to life. He didn’t just prove His power—He demonstrated His heart for the broken.

Mark 5 asks us: Who do you believe Jesus is? How is Jesus revealing Himself to you today? What’s your calling? How can we serve together?

Jesus is the One Who delivers, heals, and restores. He meets us in our desperation, but He never leaves us there.
