Parables and miracles: In
Jesus' miracles, there's a message for us. We must ask, 'What does this
mean for us?' In the miracles - calming the storm (Mark 4:35-41) and
driving out demons (Mark 5:1-20), there is the message: "Be still, and
know that I am God" (Psalm 46;10).
We look beyond the storm of
wind and waves. We see the storms of life - and we hear Jesus, saying to
us, "Be still" (Mark 4:39). He challenges our fears, and He calls us to
have faith in Him (Mark 4:40).
Where do the storms come from? -
Satan. He's a determined enemy: "No one was strong enough to subdue him"
(Mark 5:4). We need more than positive thinking. We need Jesus - the
Saviour. He is strong enough to subdue Satan. Satan is a defeated enemy.
We don't put ourselves together again. Jesus does this for us.
Don't
keep the Good News to yourself. Tell people "what the Lord has done for
you and how He has had mercy on you" (Mark 5:19). Your testimony will
be blessed: "They were all amazed" (Mark 5:20).
