“And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, ‘What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.’” – Mark 1:23-24
Demons always know who Jesus is! They don’t debate whether He was simply a good teacher, a moral example, a mere prophet, or a revolutionary. They know, with 100% certainty, that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed Son of God. They know He has absolute power over them and they’re terrified of Him! They even know that one day He will utterly defeat and destroy them, casting them into the eternal lake of fire. This is why they only ask questions about timing and His intentions toward them in that moment. They don’t doubt Who Jesus is, what He can do, and what He will do.
Do you have that same confidence in Jesus? If not, consider this testimony from a demon and let it grow your faith! Consider the awesome power of Jesus to cast demons out of sufferers with just a word. Consider His absolute authority over all things supernatural and let that build your confidence in Jesus. This is who He is – the Holy One of God. Messiah. Christ. King. Son of God. God come in the flesh.
We’re blessed to live after the cross. At the cross, Jesus utterly defeated sin, death, and Satan through His own sacrificial death and resurrection. Because of His work on the cross, we know Jesus has been given all “All authority in heaven and on earth.” Praise Jesus as King of the Universe! Worship Jesus as the all-powerful Lord that He is. Make Him your Lord and #FollowJesus
