The
gospel tells of a typical day of Jesus. He first teaches in the
synagogue and then performs the miracle of exorcism. Jesus is
presented to us as a prophet described by Moses, who teaches with the
authority of God and whose words are obeyed even by unclean spirits.
There is no power on earth greater than the power of God at work
in Jesus.
- Does the image of Jesus as one who casts out
unclean spirits still speak to our age?
- How do “unclean spirits” show themselves in
our world today?
How
are we to respond to them?
