John 8:43-47

In Matthew, Mark and Luke, the casting out of demons is closely linked to healings - as a sign of Jesus' divine authority. His disciples also receive this authority. The Gospels show: Where Jesus works, evil must give way. But not everyone recognizes God's power in this - the Pharisees even accuse him of working with Beelzebul. This reading plan highlights key events and their significance for our faith today.

Just as God first breathed the spirit of life into man in Eden, so we rely on Him to sustain us still. We survive by His power, through His word, and for His glory. To believe the Gospel is to live; to live is to obey. This is the freedom for which Jesus set us free.

There are different types of “seeing”. There is physical sight where we look at things and identify them; there is the “seeing” where we walk into a chaotic situation and someone says, “Do you see what’s going on here?” And from what we see we describe the scene as “chaos”. There is another level of “seeing” and Part 8 touches on this type – spiritual sight. What do you see?

Come on a journey with me and learn more about the life of Jesus. Together we watch a short clip of the movie The Life of Jesus and reflect on what we see. Discover who Jesus really was and what He can mean to you. This reading plan is the 5th of 10. You can read each plan separately but it's best to complete the entire journey.
