Tuesday: Sabbath Healings at Capernaum — 13 Comments

    • The truth spoken by the son of man, Jesus of Nazareth touched the hearer more significantly unclean demons realized that He is the Holy One.

      If our faith is not rooted in the founder of truth our faith would be useless.
      Sabbath marks the line of contraversy between those who will stand for God's word or for humany manipulated truth.

  1. Jesus taught with authority not as like pharisees and rabbis: this makes all difference for us today as well. This present world are in need of people who speak with authority and confidence given by Holy Spirit.

  2. Jesus found himself regularly in the Synagogue on the sabbath.
    It appears that both the people and Satan watched to see if He would
    Relieve some struggleing soul of their infirmities to accuse Him.
    The question to us is, how does we react to needs on sabbath?

  3. I think the four questions the lesson author asks are good questions. The purpose of the Sabbath gets a bit muddied though with the third because Jesus healed every day of the week so there is nothing special about that but we do see the great controversy being played out as far as authority goes.

    What I do find interesting about Jesus' encounter with the demons is their reaction to His presence, "Did You come to destroy us?" (Lk. 4:34 NKJV). Even though we could view that as part of the controversy to me it says much more about how they viewed the character of God. To the demons God is nothing more than a destroying enemy rather than a sustaining creator with love and compassion. That is the concept of God they have been preaching since they got kicked out of Heaven and they have done that in a wide variety of subtle little ways. Ever heard of "righteous indignation" which we all too frequently use to justify our explosive anger, "act of God" which is a legal term for a "natural" destructive force, "eternal burning hell" that paints a horrible picture of God or even where we go when we die or what about our concept of God's wrath? All those things are attacks on God's character and they are proffered to us because that is how the devil views God.

    • Good extrapolation of implied meaning of the demons question directed towards Christ. It opens up a whole new understanding into how Lucifer operates.

  4. How is that the people who witnessed Jesus commanding the unclean spirits to leave only focused on the power of Jesus and not on what the demons said,"And he cried out with a loud voice,saying,...I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” Luke 4:33.
    Could it be one of the reasons so many are going into the ministry, for power, prestige, job security?

    • God knew we would get so busy, in are daily life , so he sat aside a day for man , which is the sabbath.
      To just focus on him only .

  5. God's word is stronger and powerful. It is more powerfull that even demons obeys. The reality of demons is to decieve all God's people from knowing the truth.
