Jesus the Healer

The Fifth Sunday in Epiphany

Today’s gospel if from Mark Chapter 1. Mark tells us about Jesus’s ministry. Everywhere Jesus goes, he heals people and sets them from from oppression. Disease, devils, and death are running for their lives, and the forces that diminish human life are rendered powerless by Jesus.
