Are demons real?
This Sunday’s text has Jesus freeing a man of demon possession. Many people just pooh-pooh this notion of demons. I know the reality of demon possession. We know the person who loses everything because chemicals possess them and demonize their lives. We know the people so possessed by hate, they randomly kill innocent children.
We know those close to us possessed by demons that they lose all sense of reality. There are also those so possessed by demons their only release is to kill themselves.
Yes there are demons. And Yes I believe that Christ can deal with those demons. I believe it because I have witnessed what Mark records in this Sunday’s text also witnessed by others. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, what are your demons?
