JESUS,THE STRONGER THAN THE STRONG Matt. 12:22_23 The world is full of experts of its own,these are the people who want to convince you of the wisdom of their opinion. Yet God says that it is not the one who declares his view point the most loudly or vociferously who is the wisest,but the one who is vindicated over time. Very often we hear people argue that if they had lived during the time of Jesus,it would have been easier for them to believe. Todays passage shows this to be false. The ordinary people witnessed the miracle worked on the blind and dumb man. They were amazed and gave glory to God. Can this be the Son of David? But the Pharisees who were blinded by hatred and prejudice attributed the glorious miracle to the prince of demons. The Pharisees were in fact trying to say that Jesus was in league with the prince of demons and therefore no matter what good He was doing to relieve human suffering,He was still working against God. This was a most serious distortion of truth,and it is no wonder that it drew from the Lord the most serious warning. Jesus first proved that He was not working for Satan otherwise He would not have used Satans power to cast out Satan. But because He was God and therefore stronger than Satan He was able to overpower him and cast him out. Be sure that what you concentrate to the Word of God and pay no ear to the peoples opinions because some do not believe that we serve a miracle working God.Be sure that what you receive is according to the Word of God. The world has been put in danger by people who have developed negative opinions about what God does. Ask God through the power of the Holy Spirit,to sensitize you to His activity around you.
