GESAG OOR ONREIN GEESTE

“En almal was verbaas, sodat hulle onder mekaar vra en sê: Wat is dit? Watter nuwe leer is dit, dat Hy met gesag ook aan die onreine geeste bevel gee en hulle Hom gehoorsaam is?”

‭‭MARKUS‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬ ‭AFR53‬‬

 

Die mense was verbaas dat Jesus soveel outoriteit gehad het. Hulle het gedink dat dit ‘n nuwe lering is wat aan Jesus gesag oor onrein geeste gegee het.

 

Hoe het Jesus Sy gesag gekry?

 

1. Die Vader het Sy krag, in die vorm van Heilige Gees, oor Jesus laat neerdaal. Jesus het Sy lewe oorgegee om deur die Gees gelei te word.

 

“En dadelik toe Hy opklim uit die water, sien Hy die hemele skeur en die Gees soos 'n duif op Hom neerdaal. En daar het 'n stem uit die hemele gekom: U is my geliefde Seun in wie Ek 'n welbehae het. En dadelik het die Gees Hom uitgedryf in die woestyn.”

‭‭MARKUS‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭AFR53‬‬

 

1. Jesus het tyd gemaak om alleen tot Sy Vader te bid.

 

“En vroeg in die môre, nog diep in die nag, het Hy opgestaan en uitgegaan en na 'n eensame plek vertrek en daar gebid.”

‭‭MARKUS‬ ‭1‬:‭35‬ ‭AFR53‬‬

 

Baie mense aanvaar Jesus as hul Redder en stop daar. Om gesag oor onrein geeste te hê benodig ons Heilige Gees leiding. Ons verkry dit deur alleen tot ons Hemelse Vader te bid. Intimiteit is die sleutel tot outoriteit.
