OPEN
Read Mark 1:29-39
- As a child, were you sickly or robust?
- What is your solitary place?
DIG
- How does Jesus’ healing (vv. 30-31) compare with his exorcism (v. 25)? What new realm of authority is seen here?
- how do you picture the scene in verses 32-34? What does he silence the demons?
- After a day like this (vv. 29-34), what pressures could Jesus feel as a new day
dawns? What might he pray about? How might this relate to his decision to move on (v. 38)?
REFLECT
- What do you do when you need to get away and be with God?
