—Luke 8:49-56

Repetition is the way children learn. We need to repeat rules and punishments more than once in order for them to reach obedience. In school, they write spelling words and repeat math facts again and again until they master the concepts. Even as adults we need to be shown a new task we are trying to learn many times before it is mastered. The same is true with God’s word. The same story and the same concepts are repeated in multiple ways or places. The message told here, that Jesus is all powerful, bears repeating.
