We have some key takeaways from these three scriptures. Our first is that Jesus has authority over the spiritual realm. The demons immediately recognized Jesus as the son of God and submitted to his authority. Even a legion of demons representing many evil spirits could not resist his command. This highlights that Jesus is sovereign over all spiritual powers, whether they be angels or they be demons. His power surpasses that of any spiritual or earthly force. As believers, we can trust that Jesus has the ultimate control over everything, including the invisible battles that we have in our lives today.
