THE MASTER MUSICIAN
Mark 5:1-15
When Jesus takes command he brings peace. The storms must cease—storms of passion and temper. The prisoner is set free. His chains are broken—chains of selfishness and anxiety. Jesus’ clear voice rings out, “Peace, be still,” and there’s a great calm. Like the sweet cadences of music runs the phrase through the Book, “fear not.” Let us put Jesus in command, and obey him fully, and we shall know an inner quiet, greater even than the word “peace” expresses.
