Mark 1:21-28 tells the story of Jesus teaching in the synagogue on a Sabbath. A very common occurrence in the adult ministry of Jesus. His teaching was amazing, authoritative, and unlike what they were used to hearing from their own teachers of the law.
What was uncommon about this Sabbath was the undesired testimony of an evil or unclean spirit. After making himself known by crying out in the middle of the message, the bad witness confessed, "I know who you are-the Holy One of God!"
Jesus sternly silenced him with the words, "Be Quiet!"
We're currently in the middle of a sermon series called "Heroes" and next Sunday we will be listening to first hand accounts of what Jesus has done in people's lives here at KCC. They will testify how their lives have changed since meeting Jesus.
The witness of an evil spirit is not needed by Jesus. However, our confession is! We're told as Christians to go and make known the good news of Jesus. Can people see your story in the way you live?
