Luke 4:41 “And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.”
Another reason for Jesus keeping the demons quiet is related to something He did throughout His ministry. Many times He told His disciples, and others, not to tell anyone who He was. Why? There are several reasons. For one, Jesus had a very specific task He was working towards, His cross-work. Timing was important, so He tailored the news about Him so as to get events to line up per His plan. Also, Jesus was leaving the task of preaching His Messianic, Divine identity to the early church. Another reason was that Jesus sought genuine faith from people, not just a belief fueled by miracles and the words of demons. And, finally, Jesus wanted people to hear His teaching. The Jews were looking for a way out from Roman rule, and they hoped the Messiah would rescue them by force. Those who were close to Christ learned that world conquest was not His plan at the moment.
Heavenly Father, simple faith is what You desire, and we believe, trusting You for everything. All I can do or think is already known to You, dear Father. You know our lives in every respect. May we live to live for You! Give us today what You would have for us. We love You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
