Mark 1:27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.”
Jesus driving out the impure spirit got folks talking. They were amazed. News about Him spread quickly over the whole region. But what does Jesus do? Does He bask in the glory of His notoriety? Does He get on a soapbox to discuss issues?
Mark 1:28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.
No. He keeps moving. He does the next right thing. He goes with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon’s mother-in-law is in bed with a fever, and they immediately tell Him about her.
Mark 1:29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
Precious Savior, Thank You for showing not only the big, grandiose moments, but also the more prosaic moments of Your life. Thank You for showing how to do the next right thing. Help me to keep going, to keep shining Your light, and keep looking for Your people who need hope and encouragement so that I can remind them about Your love. Amen.
Mark 1:30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.
Have a blessed day.
