Jesus Reigns: Power Over Evil, Sickness, and Sin | Luke 4:31–44

📖 Jesus Reigns: Authority Over Evil, Sickness, and Sin | Luke 4:31–44

In today's sermon, we see the power and authority of Jesus in action. The prophet Isaiah declared, “Your God reigns” (Isaiah 52:7), and we witness that reign in Luke 4:31–44 as Christ speaks with divine authority—casting out demons, rebuking sickness, and healing all who come to Him.

This is no reign of terror, but of love, joy, and peace. As we sang, “Come, O Christ, and reign among us” (LSB 842 v. 3), we rejoice that Jesus' authority is not just over nature and spirits, but over sin and death itself. The prince of this world has no claim on Him! Through His death and resurrection, Christ disarmed the forces of evil and cast out the ruler of this world (John 12:31).

Now is the day of salvation! Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, reigns even now through the proclamation of the Gospel. His Word brings life, freedom, and restoration. Will you trust in His reign today?
