Few things will get you dismissed quicker in many peoples minds than confessing you believe in angels or demons. Follow that up with believing in miracles and you’ll be put in the corner as someone that can happily be ignored. Yet Luke’s gospel is full of both. Demon possession, exorcisms, healings, raising people from the dead- that’s just a sampling of what Luke documents from those that were there. So what do we, western-enlightened people, think about things like this that can be so hard to believe? For starters, we focus on the same thing Luke does- that Jesus is all-powerful, yet unfailingly kind.
