Luke: Deliverance in the Midst of Desperation

The forty-first message from the Book of Luke which highlights our response to Jesus’ Gospel. The Jesus heals a demon-possessed boy. Scripture: Luke 9:37-43 Why Here and Why Now? The healing of the demoniac boy was a further picture of Jesus’ purpose in coming - a foreshadowing of His own death and resurrection: -- His descent from the mountain into brokenness (v.37) -- Jesus’ authority over Satan and his demonic forces (v.42) -- Jesus’ rebuke of the faithless generation and their unbelief (v.41) -- The boy’s violent experience (v.39, 42) -- Restoration of the boy and the '“giving back to his father (v.42) -- Amazed at God’s greatness (v.43)
