The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Welcome to our Lent podcast.

Hey, my name is Jesse Stoniker.

This Lent season, we're working through some of the

miracles of Jesus shared with us across the gospel accounts. We're looking at how each of these

miracles points us to the greatest of all miracles, which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the

dead. The miracle of Jesus we are focused on today is found in Luke 4, 40 through 41.

Now, when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to him,

and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. And demons also came out of many crying.

You are the son of God, but he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ. Jesus' authority is

much greater than Satan's, and where Jesus is present, we know demons cannot stay for long.

As we reflect on this miracle, I'm drawn to the

nature of the author Luke. Luke was a wise man, a gentle Christian, a doctor, a companion of Paul,

a man of science and a man of detail. Luke is careful here to give us clear, concise detail of what happened that day,

and nothing more. While the story is hard to wrap our minds around, I trust that someone as factual as

Luke would give it to us straight, and I trust that the Lord was intentional to share this

encounter with us through his perspective. If we flip back to the verse 31 through 37, where Jesus' first

enters Campanium, we were fortunate enough to witness Jesus' healing power over evil in more

detail. Verse 31 begins, and he went down to Coparnium, a city of Galilee, and he was teaching them on the Sabbath,

and they were astonished at his teaching for his word possessed authority.
