40 As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one. 41 Many were possessed by demons; and the demons came out at his command, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But because they knew he was the  Messiah, he rebuked them and refused to let them speak.

 

Jesus Continues to Preach

42 Early the next morning, Jesus went out to an isolated place. The crowds searched everywhere for him, and when they finally found him, they begged him not to leave them. 43 But he replied, “I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent.” 44 So he continued to travel around, preaching in synagogues throughout Judea.

Luke 4:40-44 NLT

 

Jesus knew His mission. He was not deterred. However, He saw fit to exemplify His love for others along the way. He healed every one of the sick that were brought to him and every one of those possessed by demons. Those in the town felt great comfort from his presence there and the healings.

But Jesus had a mission.

 

He still does. It involves the end times and His coming again. He will not be deterred from that either.
