Mark 1:21-28
The first disciples witnessed the first teaching of Jesus in Capernaum. The people were amazed because He spoke with the authority of God and not worldly authority.
The disciples witnessed the Power of Jesus as He expelled the evil spirit from the man. (What was he doing in the synagogue?) "I know you are the Holy One of God" said the spirit. Jesus will release the world from demon possessions in the same way that he released the man from demon possession.
They also witnessed the response of the people who were amazed. But read the curse given to Capernaum for their lack of belief in Jesus in Matthew 11:23-24.
We have also been witnesses of the power of Jesus. What is your response?
Amazement does not equal belief. Knowing who Jesus is does not equal belief. Being in church does not equal belief. What is your belief?
