Mark: "JESUS on a SHOW-tour"

In Mk 1.21- 28 / 28 - 39 it looks like Jesus AS THE FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY
is on a show-tour.  (4. + 5. Sun B):
Capernaum ("the whole town came"); the Galilean-countryside; Syngogue; the
neighbouring-country-towns...)
His REPUTATION spread everywhere...  / HE is getting famous... / HE is special...     ""EVERYBODY IS LOOKING FOR YOU"

The reason for his reputation is a) not his family / blood   b) not because of a title
but because of HIS DEEDS

A) He has a very impressive teaching: "Here is a teaching, that is new"
B) He is casting out devils, unclean spirits:
                                             "He gives them orders and they obey him"
C) He is healing all over "He helped her up"
D) He prayed  "at a lonely place"

These four activities gives HIM a great REPUTATION !!!  as Mark see it...

WHAT is the REPUTATION of the Christianity of today in NAMIBIA ????

A) teaching ?   We have famous Catholic / Christian Schools ...
B) casting out ????
C) healing ?  We have Hospitals ...
D) praying ?    We have a lot of Sunday-Services...

Once the Christian Churches have been famous for the PRAYER for Independence.
Today ????   today: the Churches are casting out the devils of corruption ?
                              the Churches are alleviating the poverty ?
                              the Churches bring which richnesses ?
                              the Churches offer real solutions for NAMIBIAN's problems ?
We are like the moon - taking the light from the Sun and wipe out the stars.
