Don’t be Afraid, Just Believe

As Pastor Jeff continued our study of the book of Mark, he reminded us that Jesus continues to present himself as our servant leader. While this book if full of miraculous healings, there was a common thread among all who were in need. They recognized that they needed to “come” to Jesus. And, they needed to come proclaiming and believing that He is exactly who he says He is. Pastor Jeff stated that “many of us know Jesus, but we won’t come to him.” The stories in Mark 5 show us that over and over again the people that needed something from Jesus sought him and when they reached him, fell at his feet. Jesus has already come to us …won’t you come to Him today? What you will discover is He is the only one that can give you “abundant life.”
