Jesus has been proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is breaking into the world (1:15). The book of Mark is written to give us front row seats for the advancement of the Kingdom through Jesus setting demon-dominated people free (5:1-20, etc.), diseased people healed and people who have died being given life again (5:21-43). Jesus even reveals His authority as King by commanding nature through calming the storm (Mark 5:35-41). Today, we will continue to see the Kingdom advance through the life of Jesus.
