I suppose everyone knows that on Wednesday night, we have Bible study.  We are studying Luke, and I know I've said it before but it is GREAT!  
Last night was no different of course, but we were talking about how Jesus was delivering a man who couldn't speak from a demon.  I had to ask, did the man know he was possessed by a demon and did the people around him know? 
There are several places in Luke where he delivers people from demons and I have wondered that so last night I just got the courage up to actually ask?
 
Guess what?
He (the pastor) didn't know.  
I have to say, I was waiting on one of those all knowing answers and I didn't get it.   
The bible doesn't tell us any of that, we really don't know anything about the man except he was mute.  
I guess that was the plan, don't give us all the answers so we can ask questions.  
Another interesting tidbit I have learned is that the first person  to recognize Jesus as God's son was a demon, and he was in a church.  
That goes against all those scary movies I grew up seeing.
 
I wonder why God didn't just smite that demon back to you-know-where.  Maybe because it gave the people around him a chance to see what he was about.  
God is good!
All the time!
