Mark 1: 29-39
As soon as they left the synagogue,they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. Thefever left her and she began to wait on them. That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who hadvarious diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left thehouse and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!"
Jesus replied, "Let usgo somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
Through ourGospel lessons in this season we are learning that health and healings are signs of the Presence of Jesus and the kingdom of God. When people and Communities are healthy, that is good. Their health isa sign that the Presence of Jesus is with them.
The Gospel of Mark records ten consecutive incidents at the beginning of his gospel. These healings were signs that the kingdom reign of God waspresent.
The first of Jesus' healing miracles is the healing of a man with an unclean spirit. It appears this miracle involved the serious issue of "demon possession." The second of Jesus's healingmiracles is the gospel story for this Sunday, the healing of Peter's mother-in-law of her fever. It appears that this miracle involved a "not so serious illness" of a common and ordinary fever....
