Lord of Demons
Jesus the Son of God, came to our world on a mission of mercy. His miracles reveal His compassion, His omnipotence, and His rescue of us from the powers of sin and darkness. Mark 5:1-20 is the account of Jesus healing a man possessed by many demons. The demons recognize Jesus as the Son of God who has the authority to judge them. Jesus delivered the demoniac, and His sacrificial death on the cross can deliver us from sin and evil.
Lord of the Storm
The account of Jesus calming the storm at sea in Mark 4:35-41 reveals much about His true identity. Jesus understands what it means to share our humanity as he falls asleep in the boat, exhausted from a long day of ministry and opposition. Jesus demonstrates that He is sovereign over creation as He instantly calms the storm. Christ rides the storms with us, either calming them or delivering us safely through them. The only storm that can really sinks us is the storm of God's justice if we refuse to seek His mercy. Once we have believed in Him and are forgiven, the presence of the Lord is the antidote to our fears.
