Jesus is too busy even to eat. People are following him into the house. When you have a sick family member with you and you've traveled for miles, you don't care what Jesus' needs are.
Jesus' mother, brothers and sisters think he's gone crazy. They want to bring him home. Then the Jewish leaders claimed he was possessed by Satan himself, for who else could drive out a demon but the demon's master? Makes sense...seems the only possibility.
But Jesus puts a big hole in their reasoning. Why in the world would Satan do that? Why would he give anyone the power to cast out demons? That would be stupid!
Jesus says to them that there are many spirits, but only one Holy Spirit. Don't deny Him, don't dismiss Him or you are forever damned.
I was watching Oprah being spiritual yesterday, and I thought of all the other demons that have people going in circles around Christianity and feeling good about themselves. Biblical truths applied in part, leaving out the sin part and the Jesus part, seem to be enough for our modern spiritual seekers. They have all the best motives and all the love and the seeking and the helping and the serving, but they don't have sin and they don't need a Savior.
