Authority message

Luke 4:31-44
Jesus message had authority, people were amazed at his teaching.
A devil, an evil spirit knows Jesus. They shouting, "You are the Son of God!"
Jesus has power and authority gives orders to evil spirits an they come out!
I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.
Luke picks up Mark's narrative at this point, but by placing the two synagogue/sabbath stories next to one another brings out the sharp contrast in people's response to Jesus.
Why?
Demon in the ancient world it was widely held that many troubles are cause by evil spirits. The Bible says little about demon possession before or after the incarnation, but much during Jesus' ministry.; this phenomenon is part of the conflict between Jesus, who came to destroy the worlds of the devil, and evil.
Demon knows the Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, but many men don't know who he is.
Sermon in church if the words come from knowledge do not have authority, only comes from the Holy Spirit has authority, and the audience will feel the authority and power of words.
How?
Spiritual authority comes from the Lord, when the work permitted by God has the authority to shock people's heart.
