Jesus heals another man…again.

Look at what the man’s problems were and what caused them.
He was blind.
He was mute.
He was demon-possessed.

Jesus healed him.
He could see.
He could speak.
He was set free.

Of course, the Pharisees, the experts in law - the religionists - accused Jesus of operating in the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons.

The same occurs today.

Jesus knew their thoughts.
He gave them examples of how a kingdom divided against itself will not stand.

He then inferred that He cast out demons by the Spirit of God and that the Kingdom of God was present.

We learn some other truths:
  • whoever is not with Jesus is against Him
  • whoever does not gather with Jesus, scatters
  • one must first “bind up the strongman” before plundering a house

On Whose side are you?
