Bible Question: In Luke 11:21-27, I'm not sure if Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees or to the crowd, but in the aforementioned verses he gives a parable about how an unclean spirit goes away from a man and then comes back and brings with him seven other spirits which inevitably makes the state of the man worse than before. I think I know what this means, but it's hard for me to explain it in words, can you help me figure out what this means in "laymans" terms? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Antoninette... Welcome to the forum! Jesus was speaking to those who were skeptical of Him (see vv15-16). Christ is speaking of the heart of the unregenerate. The lost are not concerned about sin, but think they rule their own lives. Setting aside one sinful affliction only results in their replacement by others. The saved, however, are a new creation. Instead of self, they serve God. Their salvation is always discernible by a life of gradually increasing holiness. In Him, Doc |
