February 16 – Mark 1:29-2:12
Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31 So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them. 32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him. 35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. 37 When they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 38 But He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth.” 39 And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons.
40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43 And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45 However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.
Mark 2 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of the all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this.”
OKAY HERE'S MY TEACHING COMMENTARY
Jesus cared enough about Peter's mother-in-law to stop what he was doing and pray for her. She had a fever and it was so bad that she couldn't do anything except lay in bed. Jesus took her by the hand and immediately the fever left her and she was totally healed! She felt so good that she jumped up and started serving everybody in the house. Instead of accepting a sickness when it attacks your body we should immediately resist it and claim our healing in Jesus name! Be willing to pray for the sick that are around you. It's a great witness of God's love and healing power available for everyone today.
I remember one day when my wife Yngris was cleaning an office building. One of the employees was in the break room in severe pain. Yngris did her job in the cafeteria and on the way out the Holy Spirit spoke to her saying are you going to leave that lady suffering and pain without offering to pray for her? Yngris said in her heart back to the Holy Spirit, you mean right here, right now in front of this group of about a half dozen people? These people are going to think I'm crazy! The impression was so strong that she decided to obey God. Yngris asked this lady are you okay? She said she was suffering a horrible headache. My wife offered to pray for her and this lady said please do so. So right there, surrounded by a half a dozen people in this cafeteria within a manufacturing plant Yngris laid her hands on this woman's head and began to pray rebuking this headache in Jesus name and immediately the pain left the woman! She said my pains gone and began to thank my wife and thank God. This woman visited our church after that several times. Jesus promised that if we believed in Him we would do the same works that He did and Jesus healed the sick! Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will…lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
WHAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE?
Are you a born again Believer in Jesus Christ? Do you have faith that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead able to heal today? Then don't be afraid to exercise your faith and pray for the sick in Jesus name. This promise is for every Christian so listen to the Holy Spirit and be willing to step out in faith and pray for people. God just may use you to reveal His love and power to someone that really needs it.
This is your brother in Christ Nick Boork saying, Thanks for listening to the One Year Bible Club and let's fulfill the Great Commission of Christ together until He comes!
