Jesus' illustration points out that a spiritually empty heart-that is, one caught in isolation-is susceptible to being plunged back into injuries of the past. We need to fill up our "empty house" with unconditionally loving, honest people. Then there 's no room for more damage.
-Notice what this passage does not say. It does not say the evil spirits returned to find the Spirit of the living God there. Instead, the heart is "swept and put in order".-
The person has not moved toward God, but has tried to deal with its heart in isolation from Him!
