Subject: Was Jesus On A Secret Mission? |
Bible Note: Steve, I believe your reference to Acts 16:16-18 is very germane to this thread, because Paul and the other apostles, not unlike in their reasons to Jesus himself, did not want a cloud surrounding them that could remotely suggest that they were empowered by demons or other satanic influences. The slave girl, while in possession of a spirit of divination kept crying out, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation." What she said was true, of course, but how much weight did it carry coming from her, in view of her less-than-desirable credentials? Her testimony could, in fact, do more harm than good. So, the Scriptures tell us, Paul was greatly annoyed, turned and, invoking the name of Jesus Christ, commanded the evil spirit to come out of the slave girl. And one has only to read the rest of this narrative in Acts 16 to find out what consequences befell Paul and Silas in the wake of this incident. --Hank |
