How do we know Jesus is Lord over demons and evil spirits?

Answered in 1 source

The narrative of the madman of Gadara in Mark 5 shows Jesus' authority as He commands the unclean spirits to leave the man, affirming His lordship over all creation.

The account of Jesus’ encounter with the madman of Gadara serves as a powerful testament to His lordship over demons and evil spirits. When confronted by the possessed man, Jesus did not hesitate to command the unclean spirit to come out, thus illustrating His sovereign authority over the spiritual realm. The fact that a legion of demons bowed before Him and acknowledged His power emphasizes that even the forces of evil are subject to His will. Additionally, His permission to the demons to enter the swine further demonstrates His dominance, as He controls even their actions. Such narratives affirm Christ’s divine nature and authority, reassuring believers of His continual oversight and power over all creation, including the dark forces of this world.
