Overcoming Sin
Today's Gospel presents to us Jesus healing a mute man who was possessed by a demon. The Pharisees as usual could not believe in his power and thought Jesus was using the power of Beelzebul the prince of demons to cast out demons. Jesus however shows them that he is using the finger of God. Do you believe in Jesus' power of exorcism and that it is now in his servants? Jesus also notes that the demons will not give up easily after being cast out, they will keep coming and so we have to keep strong in the Lord and remain holy so that they will not have a home in us again. This coming back of demons, I would like to compare it with habitual sin.
