Mark’s story is full of role reversals. Those who
think they see and hear are blind and deaf and those who are blind and deaf see
and hear. A life of following Jesus is not about possessing people and things
but about dispossession; being willing to let go, take risks, be courageous,
and not to fear. To be great you have to be least and the first will be last
and the last first. Those who want to save their lives will have to lose them
for the sake of Jesus and the gospel. And in perhaps one of the most striking
reversals of all, it is the demons and unclean spirits who know who Jesus is,
while the disciples don’t > go figure.
