Mark 1:32-34
“That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.” Mark 1:32-34 NIV
Jesus healed everyone who came to Him just as He does today. In this case, Jesus didn’t simply heal a single individual, He healed an entire town, so He can heal this country and the world if there is true repentance. The work that Jesus does in individuals is a work that Jesus can do in all of society. In fact, He has come to establish the Kingdom of God, which is human society restored to God. Wherever Jesus is, the Kingdom is. Jesus brings healing, wholeness, and new beginnings for everyone who comes to Him, but people must come to Him. In doing so, they must acknowledge His authority. Even the demons acknowledge the authority of Christ. So here is a simple application for your life. In facing your worldly troubles, perhaps you have tried many remedies. You’ve listened to the advice of friends and sought the help of experts. You’ve studied online and read about many potential solutions. Perhaps you’re also beginning to suspect that no one knows the answer, and doubt and despair are beginning to grow within you. Come to Jesus. He will welcome you as a son or daughter. He will heal you and bless you. He will call you to follow Him as His disciple. He will give you a new life. When people saw the power of Jesus to change a person's life, they were drawn to Him. As believers whose lives have been touched by Jesus, the power of Jesus in our lives is just as powerful. People can be drawn to the grace of our Lord when they see HIS power at work transforming us. He asks us to be ready to share the hope that He has given us through His power in our lives and to live in a way consistent with His character and grace. Let's display and proclaim what His power has done for us so that others will be drawn to Him. When God shows His power over the demons in an event like this one at Peter’s front door, He shows that His arm is not too short to reach right into hell. And His power, which reaches everywhere, also reaches into your heart. If He can throw a demon out of a suffering body in Capernaum, He can also throw our sinfulness over His shoulder, never to be seen again. His mercy is as powerful as every other aspect of His Almighty Omnipotence . Do not hide your faith in Jesus. Pray out loud, pray in public when you go out to eat, pray with your children when you put them to bed. If you live alone, pray aloud anyway, so that the cat or the plants can hear you, because the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time!!!
