—Mark 1:29-38
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
As soon as the Sabbath was over, the town gathered at the feet of Jesus. His healing power was known and everyone wanted to see it in action or receive the benefit of Jesus' presence. Illness after illness was cured and demon after demon was driven out. The crowd wanted the peace that comes with Jesus Christ and sought in him safety from the evils of this world.
They recognized, potentially for selfish reasons, what we need to learn and live. True peace comes with life with Jesus. After Jesus slipped out of the house the next morning, the disciples searched for him, found him, and went with him as he led them in a new direction. Let us learn to find and follow Christ.
