The Holy one of God!

Friday February 3rd, Mark 1: 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit cried out, 24"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!" Sometimes it is good to remind ourselves that it is not just “us and God”. There are others to contend with. The evil spirits knew who Jesus was long before Peter ever exclaimed; “you are the Christ the son of the living God.” We don’t talk much about evil spirits in our day and age. We talk about personal responsibility; a person is bad because they choose to be bad. Jesus had a way of seeing a child of God in everyone. Perhaps we should try that a bit more.
