Jean Thomas - CONTROVERSIES, CORRECTIONS & CALL TO TRUST

Calvary Bible Fellowship, Bangalore

Jesus’ ministry on the earth was not without opposition. Though He preached the Word, healed the sick, cast out demons and did many other miraculous signs, there were still some who could not believe in Him, acknowledge Him or submit to His authority.

Here we have a demon possessed, mute man healed and delivered- while many marveled, others said he cast out the demon by the ruler of demons!! Jesus knew the thoughts and intents of their hearts and came hard on them with an answer- “And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.” (Luke 11:19).

Today’s reading draws our attention to the power and authority the Lord Jesus has over the powers of darkness, the finger of God working through Him to establish His Kingdom (vs.20). In making the bold declaration that “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters” (Luke 11:23), Jesus was making a clear demarcation between those who believed in Him and those who didn’t.
