INTRO
Luke is moving from the person of Christ to authority He possess
Jesus demonstrating His authority/Lordship
Through His Teaching – vv. 31-32
Taught them on the Sabbath
Who is the most qualified to teach the OT.
Taught as if it was His autobiography
Astonished at His teaching… possessed authority.
Spoke with confidence and boldness
Through Casting out Demons – vv. 33-37
In the synagogue
Satan had the demonic in the synagogue (doctrine matters in the church)
Demon… cried out with a loud voice, Ha!
Demons knew that in a holy war
Fallen angels opposed to the Kingdom of God
Satan is the ruler of the unbelieving world. John 8:44, 1 John 5:19
Holy One of God
James 2:19 – Demons shudder
Be silent and come out
Demonstrating His authority over the demon
You…HUSH
Now is not the time
And they were amazed at His Word
At His teaching, authority, and power
The news spreads
Through Healing the Masses – vv. 38-41
Simon’s house
More private and intimate
Rebuked the fever and she began to serve Him
Touched by Christ. Completely. Wholly
Response…serve Him
Laid hands on every one of them and healed
Personal. Face to Face
Demons crying out “You are the Son of God
Knew He was the Christ
Thoughts on Jesus’ healing ministry:
Pointing people to who He is (authority/power)
Pointing people to the new birth
Ultimate healing
From dead to alive. NEW LIFE
Every disease
Not live the TV preachers that just heal certain types
Jesus heals ALL
Through Fulfilling His ministry – vv. 42-44
I must preach the Kingdom of God
Rule and reign of God
Demonic
Physical
Same today…
Satan is opposed to the WORD
Yet, the Word has the power and authority
We too, should continue preaching the Kingdom
