Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit
As a new topic of discussion in the steps of Jesus, it would be fitting to follow the miracles he performed as part of his ministry and as proof of his deity. I have already covered the first two, but I will mention them to keep the chronological order. If you remember, his first miracle was turning the water into wine at Cana for his mother Mary. The second recorded was healing the official’s son at Capernaum. From here on, I will cover the rest of Jesus’s recorded miracles, starting with his healing of a demon-possessed man as found in Mark 1 and Luke 4.
Jesus was teaching on the Sabbath in a synagogue in Capernaum when a man with an unclean spirit disrupted him by crying out and identifying him as the Holy One of God!
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. Mark 1:24
Jesus didn’t play any games with this demon and immediately commanded him to come out.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. Mark 1:25
His fame began to spread throughout, and the people wondered who this man was who taught with such authority and commanded the spirits. We are so fortunate to have a compilation of all that Jesus did. Are there more writings hidden somewhere that we aren’t privy to? Maybe, but we have all we need in the pages of our Bibles to bring us to our knees in reverence of the One True God who walked among the people, teaching and performing miracles.
