1. Jesus cast out demons and their reactions
① Demons: fearing and professing to be sons of God
“What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God” (verse 24).
② People: surprises and rumors
"What is this, a new lesson with authority? Unclean spirits obey orders" (verse 27).
③ Disciples: It is assumed that they enjoyed it and liked it, “Everyone seeks you” (verse 37).
2. What did Jesus do?
① To the demons: Do not allow him to say “Be still and get out of the man.”
② To the leper: "Strictly send him out, and be careful not to say anything to anyone."
③ He went to a secluded place at dawn and prayed (verse 35).
④ To the disciples: Jesus reveals what He will do
“Let us go to other nearby villages, and we will preach there too, for this I have come.”
3. What did Jesus do?
I didn't want to become a popular star or be widely known.
He wanted to preach the kingdom of God to them by evangelism.
- The ultimate purpose of healing sin, the disease of the soul.
- The leper, Simon's mother-in-law, and the sick who were healed all died of old age.
concluding remarks
If you believe in Jesus, He will give you many other good things. & Heals the sick and weak.
But what Jesus wanted to do was that we might be saved in the end.
Be thankful that you are saved.
