Christ as Servant: A Study in Mark

Dia 5 de 16

What does it say?

Jesus calmed a storm, drove out demons, healed an outcast woman, and raised a girl from the dead.

What does it mean?

The people in this passage were powerless against the forces that attacked them: a storm, demons, disease, and death. Yet, they came to Jesus because they knew that only He could command the natural and supernatural and free them from hopeless situations. Jesus had the power to deliver those who looked to Him for help because He was God in the flesh. Each tragic circumstance was an opportunity to display His divine power over His own creation. They might have been powerless, but Jesus Christ – the Son of God – was not!

How should I respond?

What current situation has you feeling helpless or hopeless? Today’s passage should bring you encouragement. Jesus is God, meaning He has authority over every force you encounter. No circumstance is beyond His power, but true faith requires trusting that He will answer your cries for help in His timing and in His way. He can calm whatever storm you’re experiencing, bring healing to your spirit and relationships, and give unsurpassed peace. Take your desperate situation to Jesus in prayer right now. Ask Him in faith to work powerfully on your behalf. Nothing in your life is beyond Him.

Christ as Servant: A Study in Mark

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry. The quick succession of healings and miracles shows that Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:44). Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.
