Luke 11:14-23

• The yardstick Jesus gave everyone to understand the source and power of every action

• • Is to look at the results of these actions and power

• Here was Jesus’ Ministry bearing much and abundant fruit.

• • Many were turning their hearts to God
  • Like the Tax Collectors Matthew and Zacchaeus.

• Yet those in power were jealous

• • They could not bring themselves about to accept Jesus’ Goodness
  • There were many words of Jesus which indicted them.
  • Here was a opportunity to get back.

• They labelled the work of God in and through Jesus

• • as coming from the Devil.
  • And we can see the naivety of the accusation
  • Because these accusers had not given any thought to their words

• Jesus pokes holes in their accusation

• • And in a way confirms that he truly comes from God 
  • And his works are from God.

• Let us not sit on the fence like the Pharisees and take no side

• • When we see the work of God 
  • And understand his actions
  • May we proclaim this truth.
