Demons, discipleship, and the death of pigs - this is the kind of stuff Mark loves. Mark is a master of taking the life of Jesus and inviting us into it so that we can experience what the eye witnesses experienced in Jesus. In this passage, Mark continues to highlight the power of Jesus - ultimate, sovereign, absolute power over all the forces of darkness. What is most striking, however, is that Jesus defeats the power of darkness not with a sword and shield but with a cross and and empty tomb.
