Luke
4:40-41 (ESV) Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick
with various diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one
of them and healed them. 41 And demons
also came out of many, crying, "You are the Son of God!" But he
rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was
the Christ.
NOTE: The spiritual
forces in opposition clearly understood who Jesus was. We might argue that we
can't trust what was written, although that is not a logical argument given the
evidence. We might argue the supposedly demon-possessed are not good witnesses
and the latter argument might make sense. Except for the fact, that what Jesus
did is not possible for a normal man. The population recognized very clearly
that he was different. The authority of his words and teaching, the healing,
the miracles, are undeniable pieces of evidence. His claims force us to deal
with the man himself. As someone once argued, he must be classified as a liar
or a lunatic or Lord. A reasoned look at his life will dismiss liar and
lunatic, and then we are left with Lord. He is the Lord of the universe, the
God who created us. He demands our allegiance and our obedience. He is the Son
of God. Father, open our eyes to reason and truth.
