JANUARY 26, Mark 1: 21-28 

This passage tells us that when Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, He encountered a demon-possessed man. If you read verse 24 carefully, you will know that there was more than one demon in the man! These demons were very afraid of Jesus for they knew who He is, and the power He has; Jesus is God! Thank God it was a happy ending for that man; the demons left him.

This miracle highlights to us that we must be serious in our faith. Christianity can be fun; we play games and sing happy songs. But, Christianity is not only fun and games. We live in a spiritual world, and the forces of darkness war against us. So dear child, do remember to be close to God that He may protect and guide you.

Write “YES” or “NO” against the sentences.

1. Jesus has power over the demons. (   )

2. Jesus has power over all things. (   )

3. Christianity is only fun and games. (   )

4. We must be serious about our faith. (   )

5. The demons know Jesus. (   )

Thought: Jesus is much more powerful than Satan and all his demons combined.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your victory over Satan through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Remind me that I am Your child, and that nothing can harm me. Even if I may have nightmares, I pray that You will give me courage and to always pray. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
