Devotional: Luke 4:31-41

Today’s passage: Luke 4:31-41

Helpful thoughts:

  • Jesus exercises His own authority.
    • In His words/teaching
    • Over demons
    • Over sickness
  • When Jesus healed people, they were healed immediately.  These people were not pre-selected.  They were not turned away.  This is not what the prosperity gospel faith-healer false teachers are doing today.
  • Jesus did not allow the demons to bring Him any kind of popularity.

Questions to consider:

  1. Why did this start in the synagogue?  What was Jesus’ primary objective, to heal, to exorcise demons or to teach? (Verse 43)
  2. What was the demon afraid of?  What might he have thought Jesus had come to do at that time? (Revelation 20:7-10)
  3. How would the demons’ proclamations of Jesus’ identity have caused confusion?  Why would it make sense for Jesus to command their silence?
