TUESDAY- 22nd WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME –A

Gospel: Luke:4:31-37: I know who you are: The Holy One of God.
I Reading: 1Corinthians 2:10-16: An unspiritual person does not accept anything of the Spirit of God. A spiritual man, on the other hand, is able to judge the value of everything.
Jesus Ministers and Makes an Amazing impact:
A Day in the Life of Jesus, Lk 4:31-44
This is one of the most interesting passages in all of Scripture. This is the very beginning, the very launch of Jesus’ ministry. Note how busy and pressuring and tiring the day was, and note the powerful lessons applicable to our lives.
1. Jesus went down to Capernaum (v.31)
2. He taught in the morning service with authority (v.32)
3. He delivered the most unclean (33-37)
a. A man with an unclean spirit sat in worship
1) Evil spirits acknowledged Jesus’ deity
2) Jesus rebuked the evil acknowledgement
3) Jesus cast out the unclean spirit
b. The people were amazed
c. The spirit spread His fame
Thought: The person who is morally unclean and dirty is in desperate straits. He is gripped by an evil force that cries out in the very face of God…
Jesus cast out the evil spirit and saved the man. How? By His Word, by simply saying, “Be quiet…come out of him!” Note the great power of the Lord’s Word. ?(Mt 28:18; Jn 17:2)
