We are all fickle. Human beings are fickle. There’s no other acceptable explanation. What I mean by this is if we see something with our own eyes, witnessing something we can’t fully explain, but know it to be true, yet we still question it and go with our doubts. Here Jesus cast out a demon from a man. The people witnessed the event. They heard the demon call Jesus the “Holy One of God”. Why didn’t they believe? Why were most still hesitant on following Him? If Jesus was the Holy One of God, that meant He was God incarnate doesn’t it? This just goes to show us that unless God draws us unto Himself, miracles won’t even change our lives. Ask God today to grant you the request to live independently dependent upon Him, to give you eyes to see and ears to hear, attuned to His Spirit.
22 The people were amazed at His teaching, for He taught with real authority–quite unlike the teachers of religious law.23 Suddenly, a man in the synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit began shouting, 24 “Why are You interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are–the Holy One sent from God!”25 Jesus cut him short. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” He ordered. 26 At that, the evil spirit screamed, threw the man into a convulsion, and then came out of him.27 Amazement gripped the audience, and they began to discuss what had happened. “What sort of new teaching is this?” they asked excitedly. “It has such authority! Even evil spirits obey His orders!” 28 The news about Jesus spread quickly throughout the entire region of Galilee.
Mark 1:22-28
