A colleague of mine once remarked that when at Bible College she went to a lecture on holiness and noticed it was poorly attended. The following week she went to a lecture on evil spirits and demons and the venue was packed out.
As the growing fascination with Halloween shows, there is something seductively attractive about the power of evil. Yet this morning's reading reminds us that this attraction is deceptive, for evil has a devastating effect on people and communities. It also reminds us that above all, our focus should be on Jesus, the one who has defeated all evil.
