He cured many who were sick

My Sunday Scripture 2009.2.8


On leaving the synagogue he entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them. When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him. Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, "Everyone is looking for you." He told them, "Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come." So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.

Saint Mark 1,29-39.

My Reading Notes:
---------------

May be this is the most difficult part for me to understand.
I can not stop thinking. What are the relations between the oridinary universal law
and miracle. In the cases of miracles, the oridinary laws are secondary.
Faith is always the first place, while the universal laws are secondary.

I used fisrt and second here to mean their difference. I never dare to
repudiate any one of them. Both the universal laws and miracles are
given to us through the Almighty God.

Though I do not understand this, I believe in faith. And I believe
that faith could do anything.....whether that is within or not within
the range of the universal laws. And one more thing, the universal laws
are also gifts from heaven, we are never to disregard them.
