Mark 1

I have always found it intriguing on how the gospels of Matthew and Mark differ. Mark is right to the point in the first chapter laying out ground work of Christ coming, John the Baptist, and then right when he started his adult ministry. I think the most interesting thing about this chapter is when Jesus healed many. After healing Simon Peter's mother-in-law, Jesus has many come to his door and ask to be healed and to have demons removed from them. Just the outcry of the sick and needy and Jesus answers the call. It makes me think how quickly news spread of the power of Jesus in a time when communication was not fast spread, and the amount of need in the area.
