What it Means to Have Faith: The Bleeding Woman and the Dying Daughter (Mark 5:24-43)
The story of the Gerasene demoniac is a metaphor for Roman culture and Imperial rule. Mark depicts it as violent, brutal, unclean, and wracked with fear. When Jesus exorcises its demons, its citizens react with terror and beg Jesus to leave. (Mark 5:1-20)
We will read from the Gospel of Mark chapter 5, consider what the Bible tells us about opposing Imperialism and fighting injustice, and we will learn what it means to be spiritually awake and enlightened.
