Mark 1:23-38

Jesus is amazing the crowd in the synagogue, putting to shame the local scribes. But then a demon in one man challenges Jesus, reminds the crowd that he is only a Nazarene and questions his motives. Identifies Jesus as the Holy One of God, which he hopes will incite the people!

But Jesus, with absolute authority, rebukes the demon in the man in the synagogue and expells him. Must have been quite a sight. The people were amazed that he had power over demons and began to spread the story around Galilee.

Some will probably say he has power over demons because he IS a demon. There will be some who blieve, but many that won't. But he is definitely drawing a crowd. Imagine, having power over demons. And he gives his disciples power over demons as well. And so do we.
