As I read Mark 5, I was struck by the fact that when people begin to understand and believe who Jesus is they respond with either fear or devotion, or perhaps fear and devotion. Many people claim to look up to Jesus, to view him as a great teacher and role model, but I'm not sure they really "get" him. If they really understood and believed who he is, their response would be very different. They would see him not as a role model, but as the one with power over the natural and the supernatural; one who inspires both fear and devotion.
