Episode Synopsis

Some Will Love Demons

I enjoy a good monster story, not for the sake of glorifying monsters but because I like to see good triumph over the ugliness of sin. A good monster story can point us to the ugly truth that sin corrupts the world and God’s goodness is truly the antidote to evil. The account of Jesus casting out demons in Matthew 8 is full of monsters. Scripture tells of demons possessing people, townspeople who prefer evil to God, and even people calling Jesus the ruler of demons. Yet, we know that Jesus is not a wicked ruler of demons, and even when people were hostile to His ministry to the point of casting Him out of society, Jesus held firm to His purpose of pulling people out of the way of death and onto the way of life. The unfortunate truth of Scripture is this: that some will love demons over the holiness of God.
