Why is it that those who follow other gods feel they have to protect their god; that he cannot do the work of protecting himself?

Luke 5:26 – They Glorified God
When Jesus healed someone or cast out demons, He always had a purpose in doing so. Because the people of Israel were lost and had been without a shepherd for so many years, Jesus had to get them thinking once more who they were as a people and why they even existed. He had to…
