Our paragraph topic is: (Pharisees ascribe a miracle to the devil) Part 2.
And then the Pharisees heard the sayings of the crowd and they became possessed. They became possessed with anger. They became possessed with jealousy. They became possessed with envy. They became possessed with hatred and the devil had them. For they did not know how to understand the power of Christ. They did not know how to understand how such a man could do the things that he did. And then they had an idea. And then they thought that they knew. And then they were given the thoughts that were given to them by evil, "Say that Christ performed miracles by the power of evil, Beelzebub."
They were possessed. They did not understand. They were filled by the spirits of evil for they said, "This man does not cast out devils except by Beelzebub, the prince of devils." For you see, they said "This Man." They did not know that this man was the Messiah. They did not see, that this man was the Messiah. They did not hear his words, and they did not understand his miracles. For he spoke the words of the Father and they fulfilled the prophecy of Isaias. And the battle continues.
Christ was meek. Christ was mild. He did not raise his voice in the streets. He did not wrangle with the Pharisees. For his actions were written of in the scriptures. He was foretold of before his time. And they did not know Him. So they gathered together and took counsel and plotted and planned how to trap him, how to trick him, how to destroy him. For they could not stop him from teaching. They could not stop him from preaching. They could not stop him from healing the sick, making the lame walk, opening the eyes of the blind, casting out demons, and raising the dead. So they had to kill Him. They had to get rid of Him. They had to destroy Him. For he was the Son of God.
Are you a meek person? Are you a mild person? Do you speak softly and carry the will of God with you? Will you be a witness for His glory today, wherever you go? The battle continues. The demons gather to plot against you. The demons lay tricks and traps to destroy you. They seek you out at home, at work, in the streets, in your car, while you are driving, at the mall, in the grocery store, wherever you are, they will seek to work against you. Seek your refuge in Christ. Carry him with you, in the mall, at home, in the stores, at work, wherever. Where you go, so also must He go with you. He is your protection. He is your provider. He is your daily food. For in Him and Through Him, and by Him, you will find your reward. Seek first the kingdom of heaven and all else is provided. Be a soldier for Christ. The battle continues!
