Hearing what he was doing, a large number of people came to
him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan,
and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. Mk 3,8
Crowds follow him.
Main reason for flocking to him was because he was able to heal.
He was able to heal almost anyone of almost anything.
So there is stampede even at the sea shore!
But the author does not just leave us with the physical healing.
Jesus' extra-ordinary healing power operates on spiritual level.
He is challenged by evil forces as well.
Unclean spirits are the evil forces (non-physical powers)
that operate in man (within man).
These forces make the person to behave in such a way
as to make him behave less humanly.
These evil powers recognize the superior power and
they are ill at ease in the presence of the superior power.
Healing has to be both physical and spiritual.
Today many flock to the hospitals/doctor for healing.
They are rightly so.
Evil powers/forces which are also called unclean spirits
do affect men from within and affect their behaviours
which are noticed from without. Where do they run to?
Evil spirits fall to the ground only in the presence of the
superior powers (JESUS/DIVINE)
Physically we are well/healed
Internally we are filled with powers.
Which power dwells within us?
Our behaviour will reveal.
Whatever may be, we need to flock to
SUPERIOR POWER
