“When Simon and the others were confronted with the power and majesty of Jesus they immediately became aware of their own sinfulness. That is what always happens when sinners will draw near to Him. In His presence, even the demons could not remain silent but were compelled to confess Him as their Superior and their Master. And when sinners really see Him for who He is they instantly become aware of their own sinful condition. As a result, they will either believe in Him and thus follow after Him, or they will try their best to get out from under His gaze and flee from His presence.”
