“You are the Son of God.” (Mark 3:11)

 In appearance, it seems that the evil spirit trusted and obeyed Jesus. In fact, the demon’s intention was to destroy God’s salvation plan because it allowed people to hear and think that Jesus would start a revolution and rescue them from Roman enslavement.

However, the mission of Jesus’ salvation and the political struggles are contrary to each other. 

From the book of Isaiah, the prophet, Matthew has quoted “servant of the Lord” to describe the mission of Jesus:

 “Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, upon whom I have put my spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations,
Not crying out, not shouting, not making his voice heard in the street.
A bruised reed he shall not break, and a smoldering wick he shall not quench,
Until he establishes justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait for his teaching.”
(Isaiah 42:1-4) (See Matthew 12:15-21)
  
The one who can perform signs and wonders might not necessary be the Messiah “If anyone says to you then, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:23-24)

As described by His mother, the Messiah’s (anointed one) mission is, “He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.
He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty.” (Luke 1:51-53)

Since we have shared the life of the “Son of God”, let us follow the spirit of “Not to be served but to serve” as our motto.
