The Two Antagonistic Powers of the Sanctuary
Mark 1:23
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,


I. There is the SATANIC POWER in the sanctuary.

1. Satan is there to interrupt the service conducted by an earnest preacher.

2. To occasion distress to human souls.

3. He is entirely subject to the power of Christ.

II. There is the CHRISTLY POWER in the sanctuary.

1. To instruct souls.

2. To free souls from the tyranny of the devil.

(Joseph S. Exell, M. A.)
