By Don Ruhl
Some scribes said that Jesus cast out demons by the power of the ruler of the demons, meaning Satan himself. However, Jesus countered:
So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.”
– Mark 3.23–26
Those scribes should have known what Jesus told them. It is just common sense. However, they had to find a way to explain away His miracles, but in so doing they made themselves look stupid.
Questions:
- Why do you think Jesus was able to cast demons out of people?
- Is Satan intelligent?
