In Walked Truth

And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
Mark 1:21-27

Another typical Sabbath; the same scribes, same attendees, same scripture reading, same everything.
Little did they know a Visitor would stop in during this Sabbath; and not only would He enter the synagogue, but He would also read the Scripture.
Among the members of this small group, was a man possessed with a demon.  It's interesting to note that this demon did not have any problem when the scribes read the scripture.
This demon did not have a problem sitting among other Jewish men sitting in this synagogue.
In fact, this demon didn't seem to feel uncomfortable in this environment at all.
Day after day this man sat among the other listeners, hearing God's Law and yet it had no effect.

Until Truth Walked In.

And now, the Word was the One speaking.
God in the flesh, Jesus Christ stood behind the pulpit. 
The Fulfilled Law was preaching Himself that day, and the hidden became known.
Sin cannot hide in the presence of Jesus.

With Authority only belonging to our Lord, the Word of God was preached that day.
The mechanics of their worship, and how they listened to the Word of God was forever changed.
And a shackled, demon possessed man became free.

So, let me ask you this:
    Are you in a church that preaches Truth and recognizes the Lord Jesus Christ?
        Or are you in a church where demons hang out?
It's time to discern Truth-
                But that's just me!
