Our Gospel is from Mark 1:21-28, and there is A LOT packed into these few verses.
There is so much in here we can unpack and talk about, but I want to focus on one small, but very significant point.
I am completely struck that when a man with an unclean spirit in him came to Jesus, the spirit called out and expressed it knew who Jesus was and ultimately that Jesus had power over it!
In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are-the Holy One of God!" ~ Mark 1:23-24
I think this is so important and something so many people miss in their faith. It isn't enough for us to know who Jesus is. Evil Spirits know and believe Jesus is the Holy One of God! We must follow Him, we must put our faith, hope and trust in Him. He is The Way, The Truth and The Life! He is the only way to God (John 14:16).
His Words are spoken and given to us with the power and authority of God. We must listen to Him. we must humbly submit to Him! We must start doing more than just knowing who He is and give our lives fully and completely to Him.
