Luke 8-9

Luke 8:22 begins a section of that Gospel that hints at the power of God at work in his life. After Jesus is awoken and calms the storm (vs 24) the disciples ask one another; "Who is this man?" His authority over nature prompted the question. After that he commanded demons (vs 29), commissioned another disciple with his message (vs 39), healed a woman with chronic bleeding (vs 44), commissioned another disciple (vs 48), and restored life to a dead girl (vs 55). But chapter 9 seems to be the continuation of the same story. Though Jesus demonstrated his power to his apostle the first priority he gave them was to share his message (9:2). The same priority should fall to us as well.
