The Son of God

Mark 3:11 (NIV)
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."

He hushed the demons who referred to him as the Son of God. This title speaks of a close and special relationship, which is at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man. He is both. In Him man and God come together in a way that was not possible before. He is the new man come forth from the old, bringing new life in the Spirit. Flesh becomes a dwelling place of God. The Spirit will come to all men who open their hearts.

It is not for the demons to reveal Jesus. Jesus came to proclaim the good news. It will take time to speak the message and open the gates to the kingdom of God. It will take time for us to observe and digest this truth. It continues for each of us this day.
