DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE POWER OF GOD

Luke 4:32.34, "His teaching amazed (the people) because he spoke with power." 
(And the man with the evil spirit said,) "Hey!  Jesus of Nazareth! What do you want with us?  Are you here to get rid of us?  I know who you are!  You are God's Holy One!"


"Most of the people were amazed at Jesus' speaking power, but this man with an evil spirit knew why Jesus was so powerful. He was God's Holy One.  This man made no bones about it.  Jesus was the Holy One. This man only voiced his fear, "What do you want with us?  To get rid of us?"   Other people were amazed with Jesus, yet they voiced no fear.  Yet, they probably did fear.  They may have thought, "This Jesus speaks with power and authority and heals the sick and raises the dead.  What must he want of me?"


"Well, Jesus will ask something of us.  He will ask for everything, but by the time He asks it of us, we are willing to give it out of love and grace, for that is what He gives us day, after day, after day.


"God, help us to always desire to ask you, in love, "What do you want of me today?  I am yours.  Do with me as you like!  AMEN."
