 The Church of Christ is the servant of that love for the good of all men.

Luke 11. 15 to 26

Luke 11:16 - Other, for the test, demanded of him a sign from heaven.
Luke 11:17 - But he, knowing their thoughts, said, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and house falls on house.
Lk 11:18 - if Satan is also divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand on? ... since you say that it is by Beelzebul that I drive out demons.
Luke 11:19 - But if me is by Beelzebub that I cast out demons, your son, by which drive them out? So will they be your judges themselves.
Luke 11:20 - But if by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Luke 11:21 - When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are safe;
Luke 11:22 -
but a stronger than he arises and the bat, it takes away the armor in which he trusted and divides his spoils.

Jealousy for
Jesus performed carefully the works of God the Father but these divisive, the crowds around him and see who are lost in admiration, religious leaders feel dispossessed and become jealous.
By what right and what authority is this Jesus of Nazareth
The power of this Rabbi is it God or Satan

 Jesus refers to Satan
Luke 11:21 - When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are safe;
The meaning of this verse may be regarded as a little parable that invites us to keep us out of that which we covet.
The main strength of Satan is like the thief who says I do not exist and when it enters into you, he settled there and puts you under its spell

The healings that Jesus performed by driving the demons are not just some works done in the name of the Father, unlike the Pharisees who practice exorcisms, the healings are the victory of the power of good that Jesus is against the power of evil generated by Satan

But more than that these healings are restoring life in the fullness willed by God.

Isaiah 14:11 - Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, with music of your harps. Was formed under you mattress with vermin, the larvae cover you.

Luke 10:18 - He said: "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven!

Santan is defeated by the power of one whom God sent his only son, all he had coveted, taken indiscriminately is now in court for release.
The demons are gone and the men entered the sovereign freedom of God

The gospel of this day shows us the path of Jesus' victory over the men undertake through that in turning to an unrealistic world not worth living without love because

The Church of Christ is the servant of that love for the good of all men.
