Written by Jurgen Moltmann (1926-2024), a German reformed theologian, professor, and author. This is an excerpt from his book “The Way of Jesus Christ: Christology in Messianic Dimensions.”
When Jesus expels demons and heals the sick, he is driving out of creation the powers of destruction and is healing and restoring created beings who are hurt and sick. The lordship of God to which the healings witness, restores creation to health. Jesus’ healings are not supernatural miracles in a natural world. They are the only truly “natural” thing in a world that is unnatural, demonized, and wounded.
The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. [1 John 3:8]
