Luke 9:37-45

Jesus heals a boy whom a demon controlled

About the next group of questions

We have already learnt that Jesus has power over demons. Here is another story that shows the same thing. He wants us to believe in him. And is disappointed when we do not believe.

Pray

Ask God to protect you as you study about the power of demons.

Read: Luke 9:37-45

9:37 Where were Jesus and his disciples coming from? Who met Jesus?

9:38 Who called out to Jesus from the crowd?

9:38, 39 What was the man’s greatest problem?

9:39 What did the demon do to the boy?

9:40 Could the disciples send the spirit out of the boy?

9:41 Why was Jesus disappointed with everyone?

9:42 What happened as they were bringing the boy to Jesus? What did Jesus do next?

9:43 What did the people think when they saw this miracle?

9:44 What did Jesus tell the disciples about the future?

9:45 Did they understand what Jesus was saying to them? They were afraid to ask Jesus what he meant. Why do you think that they were afraid to ask him?

Final remarks

Jesus does have the power to send demons away. The disciples could not do it because they did not trust Jesus’ power. Their lack of trust hurt Jesus. He began to teach them that he would die. But they could not understand this. He must have felt lonely at times like these. He understands when we feel lonely.

Pray

Jesus, help me to trust you more. And help me to understand who you are. I need you to forgive me. And I need you to give me power over any evil thing in my life. Help me to give you honour. Amen.
