BLIND SPOTS
4 videos • 44 views • by First Redeemer Church In Mark 5, Jesus performs a miraculous exorcism, freeing a man possessed by a legion of demons. Despite this clear demonstration of divine power, the people of the region ask Jesus to leave, fearing the economic loss of 2,000 pigs. This story highlights a common blind spot: the fear of what following Jesus might cost us. Jesus teaches that true discipleship requires self-denial and taking up one's cross daily. In return, He offers a new heart, a new value system, and an abundant life. Scripture assures us that investing in Jesus yields eternal rewards, far surpassing any temporary sacrifices. Reflect on what you are investing your life in and consider the eternal benefits of fully committing to Jesus.
