The unclean spirit recognizes Jesus and proclaims his identity, “I know who you are – the Holy One of God!” Yet the people who encounter Jesus in the synagogue are amazed by his teaching and ask one another, “What is this?” How often are we amazed by our encounters with the Lord? Do we always recognize his powerful actions in our day-to-day life?
