Mark 5 presents three remarkable moments revealing Jesus’ authority and power. First, Jesus demonstrated power over demons when He encountered the most demon-possessed man in the region. At His command, the demons fled, never to return. Next, Jesus displayed authority over death when He raised Jairus’ daughter, restoring her life by His word alone.

Between these dramatic events is a quieter yet profound encounter—a woman touched Jesus’ cloak in faith and was healed of her long-term illness. Though this moment may seem small compared to raising someone from the dead, it reveals an essential truth: faith in Jesus brings healing and restoration—not just spiritual life but spiritual health.

Many have received salvation and eternal life but still struggle spiritually and emotionally. Jesus promises in John 10:10 that He came to give life in its fullest expression. True spiritual health comes from encountering Jesus—touching Him in faith and allowing His power to flow through us.

Reflection Question:

Where in your life do you need a fresh touch of Jesus’ healing power today?

Prayer Focus:

Pray for renewed spiritual health—for yourself and for our Gateway family. Ask God to make us not only alive in faith but thriving in it.
