“ Explain The Meaning And Significance
of Miracles In Luke Gospel”
Jesus was shown to be more powerful than the evil that trouble the times, and that he has the power to override such dark spirits. Luke illustrates this through his archive of exorcisms performed by Jesus which is one of the miracles in Lukes gospel.
Luke is stating that Jesus has control over evil and over the spiritual world also, which shows that he is carrying out the will of his father thus proving the existence of God. The “demons” that exist in the man who is simply known as Legion, taunt him and keep him excluded from society; the man is called legion in reference to the numerous demons that posses him. Despite Jesus being outnumbered by the demons he orders them from the man and spares them from banishment to the abyss, when confronted by Jesus the demons cower and beg for mercy, further stating Jesus control over the spiritual world.
