Mark 1:21-34 - Not Your Average Scribe

During the very early stages of Jesus' ministry, there were spectators who noticed something distinguishing him from the other Rabbis. He carried himself with a certain authority which would soon be proven in his miraculous powers over physical and spiritual opposition. Mark is reminding us that the Christ of the Bible was not a mere religious teacher, but One who possesses authority...One whose rule we can and must submit to.
