Jesus in Cahoots with Satan??? Luke 11:14-23
Jesus Does a Miracle, 11:14-16

- Some were skeptical.
- Some were uncertain.
Jesus Responds to the Charge of Exorcising Demonic Power
11:17-22
° It’s Nonsensical – If I’m an agent of Satan, why would
I be working against him? A divided kingdom will fall!
° It’s Self-Incriminating – You oppose the work of
Satan. Does that mean you are one of his agents too?
° It’s an Admission of Jesus’ Superiority – You
acknowledge my authority over demons, that I am
stronger than the “strong man.”
Jesus Issues a Warning, 11:23
ù You are either with Jesus, and gathering.
ù Or you are against Jesus, and scattering.
Good News
û Jesus Is Stronger – The one who takes captives is not as strong as the one who sets captives free.
û Jesus Strength Sets Me Free – There is no bond that holds me that Jesus can’t break.
û Jesus Is Strong Enough - Jesus doesn’t need me defend Him; I need to decide for Him and start gathering.
