Jesus demonstrates power over Satan and demons in several profound ways, as highlighted in the sermon. First, He casts out demons with just a word, showing His authority over evil spirits ([29:08]). When demons recognize Jesus, they are afraid and ask Him not to cast them away but to send them into pigs, which He does, illustrating His control over demonic forces ([29:08]).

Second, Jesus explains His power by describing how He binds the strong man—Satan—before He can plunder his house ([30:16]). This metaphor shows that Jesus has the authority to bind Satan, effectively limiting his power and enabling Jesus to carry out His mission of plundering Satan’s kingdom. His mission involves defeating Satan’s hold on humanity, which He accomplishes through His power and authority ([30:16]).

Third, Jesus’ power is also demonstrated through His victory over temptation and sin. He faced temptations but never gave in, showing His strength over Satan’s schemes ([33:56]). His ability to stand firm against temptation and cast out demons with a word underscores His supreme authority over Satan’s realm.

Finally, Jesus’ power over Satan is also seen in His authority to forgive sins and His mission to defeat evil completely. His power to forgive all sins except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit reveals His divine authority and victory over evil ([36:11]).

In summary, Jesus demonstrates His power over Satan and demons through His authority to cast them out, His metaphorical binding of Satan to plunder his kingdom, His victory over temptation, and His divine authority to forgive sins, all of which affirm His supremacy over evil forces ([29:08], [30:16], [33:56], [36:11]).
