March 4. Read Mark 5. Jesus Heals.
Mark 4:35—5:43 sees an increase in the scope of Jesus' miracles. He has just calmed a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee. Now, He expels a legion of demons, heals a woman without overtly acting, and brings a girl back to life. All three situations—related to tombs, blood, and death—show Jesus bringing healing to unclean circumstances.
Reflect: What truths can we learn about God through His healing of unclean circumstances? How is your faith challenged by Jesus’ supremacy over what is considered unclean?
