—Mark 1:21-28
by: Andrew J. Camenga.
The unclean spirit protested noisily; the unclean spirit obeyed. You see, it had no choice in the matter. Once Jesus issued the command, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" (v. 25), obedience was necessary. Like the unclean spirit, should Jesus issue a command in like manner to us, obedience will be the only option-all choice will be gone.
For whatever reason, God has given to us the opportunity to make choices. Let us make them well and live for the Creator of all that is.
