Mark 1:29–39 | King Jesus, Healer & Restorer

Preacher: Joel Fair
Scripture: Mark 1:29–39

Jesus Heals V29-34

Preach the Word Commentary
Note the manner in which Jesus healed her. Luke says in the parallel account that he stood over her and rebuked the fever (Luke 4:39). (Matthew 8:15) says he touched her. Here in Mark we read that he took her by the hand. Thus, we have a composite picture of Christ standing close to her bed, taking her by the hand, rebuking the fever, and gently raising her up before Peter and his wide-eyed friends.

Jesus Prays V35

PW Kent Hughes
E. Stanley Jones once described prayer as a “time exposure to God.” He used the analogy of his life being like a photographic plate which, when exposed to God, progressively bore the image of God in keeping with the length of exposure.

Jesus Proclaims V36-39

Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
