We ended last week in Mark 5, finishing up a series of passages that

addressed the issue of fear in our lives. Through these passages, it

appears that Jesus wants us to transform our fear into faith in Him.  Faith

that His authority and power is supreme over anything in this world- after

all He has the power to command the forces of nature and the forces of the

spiritual world.  Jesus desires for us to have faith that He cares for us,

faith that He doesn’t want to shame us, faith that He is bringing about

healing and restoration, faith that the life He will raise us up into is

going to be so much greater than anything we experience here on earth.  And

in the next couple of encounters, Jesus shows us a little more about faith

and belief, and even the lack of faith and belief. And I believe that the

ramifications are huge for us concerning how we personally and corporately

as a body of believers, apply the truth contained in God’s word to us this

morning.
