The focus moves from the Words of Jesus to the Works of Jesus. It is often said that seeing is believing but Jesus changes the order. We read in Mark 11:23-24, I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. Jesus tells us we must first believe and then we will receive (see) the miracle.
There are 425 verses in Mark - 200 of them are devoted to the miracles of Jesus, that is 40%.
In this passage of scripture we see how 4 miracles are arranged to show that Christ is the Master of every situation. In each of these scenarios the people are driven by desperation. There is a constant conflict between faith and fear. But Mark wants us to realize that Jesus is willing and able to perform miracles in our life.
This week we will dig into each of these stories to learn truths that we can apply to our life.
The 4 Miracles to Demonstrate the Power of the Master:
- Jesus is the Master over disorder (4:35-41)
- Jesus is the Master over demons (5:1-20)
- Jesus is the Master over disease (5:21-34)
- Jesus is the Master over death (5:35-43)
