Revelation of God the Son

Mark 3:20–35 (ESV)

20 Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat.

What does Mark 3:20-35 reveal about what God does in my place and on my behalf (the work of the Son)? Mark 3:20-35 reveals Jesus Christ to be the one who binds Satan and frees people who are under his influence. He is the one who will crush the serpent (Genesis 3:15) and he demonstrates that by freeing people who are dead in their sins (Ephesians 2:1–10). Where I am unable to free myself from slavery to the lies of the devil, Jesus Christ rescues me from the kingdom of darkness, through the preaching of his gospel and the power of his Spirit, and brings me into the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:13).
