But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Jesus points out here that his power comes from the Spirit of God, not from evil sources. If he drives out demons by the Spirit of God, then this testifies that the kingdom of God has come and is at work among people. This saying has deep significance, emphasizing that Jesus’ ministry is for the cleansing and liberation of people. His works are not limited only to physical miracles; they are the manifestation of God’s presence, power, and love, which break the dominion of evil. Jesus makes it clear that the kingdom of God is not only a future promise, but a present reality that has already begun to work through him.
