Mark’s gospel continues to reveal the inbreaking of the kingdom of God through his account of the earthly ministry of Jesus.  Here Jesus’ power and authority over the effects of sin were revealed as He alleviated the suffering of the sick and demon-possessed.  But His compassion was revealed as well through his longsuffering attention all who came to him in need.   Herein we also learn that we love because of His love applied to us—when he heals us, he renders us strong for service.
