主讲：丘均发传道


一、赶鬼—主胜过一切黑暗（可5:1-20）

1．一个被污鬼附的人（V1-5）
耶稣和门徒来到格拉森，一个被污鬼附的人从坟墓中奔向耶稣，无人能捆绑他，这是一个被黑暗彻底摧毁的生命。

今天许多人虽不住在坟墓里，却活得像在坟墓中：情绪失控、关系破裂、内心孤立，明知不对却无法停止。

2. 耶稣的命令与释放（V6-13）
那人一见耶稣就俯伏敬拜，群鬼认出祂是至高神的儿子，只能顺服祂的命令，被赶入猪群，冲下悬崖灭亡。

我们或许没有被鬼附，却常被“心里的鬼”控制：小气、疑惧、胆怯、暴躁等；耶稣同样能赶走这些黑暗，释放我们的生命。

3.从被鬼附变宣教士（V14-20）
原本衣衫破烂、心智混乱的人，如今穿好衣服，安静坐着，并渴望跟随耶稣；但耶稣差他回家，为神作见证。曾被捆绑的人，成了神国的见证人。主拯救释放我们，不只为活得更好，更是要我们回到人群中，活出见证。

二、医病—主修复一切破碎（可5:25-34）

1．绝望12年触主就痊愈（V25-29）
这妇人病了十二年，耗尽钱财、被人隔离，却相信只要摸耶稣的衣裳就能得医治；她的信心触动主，血漏立刻止住。

今天我们也有“长期流血”的生命：失望、受伤、被拒绝、陷在罪中。但耶稣不仅医治身体，也医治内心；在低谷中仍祷告、读经、聚会，就是在伸手摸主。

2．被点名是主要赐恢复（V30-34）
耶稣察觉有人凭信心触摸祂，便停下询问，是要公开这信心，赐那妇人尊荣。祂称她为“女儿”，在众人前恢复她的身份。医治不仅是身体得改变，更是身份与尊严的恢复。

三、起死回生—主翻转一切死局（可5:21-24,35-43）

1．会堂主管向主俯伏（V21-24）
睚鲁身为会堂主管，有地位，仍来到耶稣面前求助，显明人人都需要主。拦阻我们经历神的，往往不是问题多大，而是太倚靠自己；信心的起点，就是承认自己不行，需要耶稣。

2．不是死了是睡着了（V35-40）
途中传来孩子死讯，旁人劝睚鲁别再打扰耶稣，耶稣却说：“不要怕，只要信。”到睚鲁家后，人们哀哭。耶稣说：“孩子不是死了，是睡着了。” 众人嘲笑耶稣，祂便把他们赶出去。

世界也常嘲笑我们的信心，但我们要像耶稣一样，除去这些声音，只留下神的话、属灵同伴和信心的声音。

3.一句话就起死回生（V41-43）
耶稣拉着小女孩的手，以权柄命令说：“闺女，起来。”她立刻复活行走。主还吩咐给她吃的，显出祂对生命细致的关怀。同样，主也能使我们生命中死去的盼望、关系、呼召…，在基督里重新活过来。

总结：

赶鬼、医病、起死回生，是主的三次宣告：你没有被放弃！你还没有结束！你的人生仍在我手中！愿我们都：不要怕，只要信！


  

Mark Chapter 5: The Lord Who Casts Out Demons, Heals the Sick, and Raises the Dead
GK611 Morning Devotion
16.12.2025
Speaker: Ps Daniel Kew


 I. Casting Out Demons — The Lord Triumphs Over All Darkness (Mark 5:1–20) 

1. A Man Possessed by an Unclean Spirit (v1–5)
Jesus and His disciples came to the region of the Gadarenes. A man possessed by an unclean spirit ran toward Jesus from the tombs. No one could restrain him. This was a life completely devastated by darkness.

Today, many dwell not in tombs yet live as if within them: emotionally uncontrolled, relationships shattered, inwardly isolated, knowing wrong yet unable to cease.

2. Jesus’ Command and Deliverance (v6–13)
When the man saw Jesus, he fell down and worshiped Him. The demons recognized Him as the Son of the Most High God and could only submit to His command. They were driven into a herd of pigs, which rushed down the steep bank and perished.

We may not be demon-possessed, yet we are often controlled by “demons of the heart”: stinginess, fear, anxiety, timidity, anger, and more. Jesus is able to drive out these darknesses as well and set our lives free.

3. From Possessed to Missionary (v14-20)
The man, once ragged and deranged, now clothed and sitting quietly, yearned to follow Jesus. Yet Jesus sent him home to testify for God. The formerly bound became a witness to the kingdom of God. The Lord saves and sets us free not merely to live better lives, but to return to the world and live out our testimony.

 II. Healing the Sick— The Lord Restores All Brokenness (Mark 5:25–34) 

1. Twelve Years of Despair, Healed by Touching the Lord (v25–29)
This woman had been sick for twelve years. She had spent all she had and was isolated from others, yet she believed that if she only touched Jesus’ garment, she would be healed. Her faith touched the Lord, and her bleeding stopped immediately.

Today, we too may experience ‘chronic bleeding’ in our lives: disappointment, wounds, rejection, or entanglement in sin. Yet Jesus heals not only the body but also the heart. Persisting in prayer, Scripture reading, and attend gatherings even in the valley is like reaching out to touch the Lord.

2. Being Called Out Signifies the Lord's Restitution (v30-34)
Jesus sensed that someone had touched Him in faith and stopped to ask, not to shame her, but to publicly affirm her faith and grant her honour. He called her “daughter,” restoring her identity before everyone. Healing is not only a physical change, but also the restoration of identity and dignity.

 III. Resurrection from the Dead—The Lord Turns Every Dead End Around (Mark 5:21-24, 35-43) 

1.The synagogue ruler falls prostrate before the Lord (v21-24)
Though Jairus held the position of synagogue leader, he came before Jesus seeking help, revealing that all need the Lord. What often hinders us from experiencing God is not the magnitude of our problems, but our over-reliance on ourselves. The starting point of faith is acknowledging our own inadequacy and we need Jesus.

2. “She Is Not Dead but Asleep” (v35–40)
On the way, news came that the child had died, and people urged Jairus not to trouble Jesus anymore. But Jesus said, “Do not be afraid; only believe.” At Jairus’ house, people were weeping. Jesus said, “The child is not dead but sleeping” and they laughed at Him. So He put them all outside.

The world often mocks our faith as well. Like Jesus, we must remove those voices and keep only God’s word, spiritual companions, and the voice of faith.

3. One Word Brings Life Back (v41–43)
Jesus took the little girl by the hand and commanded with authority, “Little girl, arise.” Immediately she got up and walked. Jesus also told them to give her something to eat, showing His tender care for life. Likewise, the Lord can bring back to life the hopes, relationships, and callings that have died in our lives— restoring them to life in Christ.

 Conclusion：

Casting out demons, healing the sick, and raising the dead are three declarations from the Lord: You have not been abandoned! You are not finished yet! Your life is still in My hands! May we all live by this word: Do not be afraid; only believe!
