Don’t Be Afraid, Just Believe

The miracles recorded in Mark 5 are astounding. Jesus Restores A Demon-Possessed Man (verses 1-20), then Jesus Raises A Dead Girl and Heals A Sick Woman (21-43).

For the grieving parent, the chronically ill, or the demonically enslaved – the words  “just believe” may seem callous.

But Jesus does not offer insincere platitudes.

He speaks and acts with ultimate power and authority. He transforms loss into victory.  The dead are raised, the sick are healed,  the demons flee.

So, yes, for lovers of Jesus, it is that simple – just believe.

He will do what is best.
