Just a quick post today…I’ve got to get to my tax records!  But I’m thinking about verses 11-12, how Jesus managed himself when evil spirits “outed” him for who he truly was – the son of God.  First thought:  the question of who Jesus is remains the key revelation of Christianity.  Many today want to water down the diety of Christ, but as scripture says “even the demons believe and tremble”. Evil knows who He is.  Second thought:  Jesus didn’t want to be identified in public at the time.  That’s pretty interesting, because it implies He had a sense of timing in mind.  That makes me remember how Jesus said He only does what the Father is doing.  He was not in need of notoriety.  He was about the Father’s business…  He was not in need of attention.  He was secure in his place, purpose and personhood.

May I be as secure and content to go about my Father’s business without title or accolade…  Lord, show me more of what it means to be found in you!
