Jesus Son of God

Part XIX

The teachings of Jesus was new for the people those listened to him. 

  The people were amazed at the teachings of Jesus which was new for them. Mark 1:27 (NJB): The people were so astonished that they started asking one another what it all meant, saying, ‘Here is a teaching that is new, and with authority behind it: he gives orders even to unclean spirits and they obey him.’ Jesus gave orders to evil spirits with authority. He taught the people with authority. No evil could stand in front of him. Jesus never looked at the personality, or the wealth and fame of a person. He was not afraid of anyone. But he talked and behaved with them in love, patience and mercy. Mark 5:7–8 (NJB): and shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? In God’s name do not torture me!’ 8 For Jesus had been saying to him, ‘Come out of the man, unclean spirit.’ The evil spirits recognize Jesus as the Son of God and plead him not to torture them. They were afraid of him. What about us ? How much faith do we have in Jesus ? How about our fear of God, our hatred of evil ?
