Message
of the verse: I know who You are—the Holy one of God
This will be another of my shorter SD’s as I am having
some trouble with my laptop.
It is unlike atheists, liberal
theologians, and also cultists, the demons know exactly who Jesus is. In fact, in the first half of Mark’s gospel
they are the only ones who are sure He is the Son of God. Let us think about this for a moment. The Bible teaches that God created the angels
before He created the world, and when He created them they were all perfect. Now we know that one third of them fell after
Lucifer fell too. Lucifer I believe was
the archangel of the Son of God and it was pride that caused him to fall. Now if one thinks about this they have to
come up with the fact that all of the angels that God created knew exactly who
the Son of God is. Now back to our verse
we are looking at this evening.
Expressing the sheer terror of one who is absolutely wicked in the
presence of the One who is absolutely holy, the demon screamed, I know who
You are—the Holy One of God! Now like
the rest of his fellow demons, this one was forced to acknowledge that Jesus is the absolutely holy Son of God. If God’s people are afraid of His holy
presence cf. Isa. 6:5; Ezek. 1:28; Matt. 17:6; Rev. 1:17), how much more so a
vile wicked demon? Now Jesus however,
did not want or need the testimony of hell.
So therefore, He silenced the demons whenever they affirmed His true
identity (vv. 35, 41; cf. Mark 1:25, 34; 3:12; Acts 16:16-18). Now since Jesus Christ lives in believers as
seen in Galatians 2:20), demons fear them, because the One they supremely dread
indwells them.
As mentioned this is a very short SD,
and I have one more to do in this group entitled “His Power where we will look
at Luke 4:35-37.
