Is Jesus’ Authority

They were amazed at his teaching because his words had ­authority. — Luke 4:32

As pastors, people think of us as different from others; more spiritual, and as if we know everything about faith and God. I’ve never really gotten used to walking into a room and being seen as different or having authority because I am a pastor. It makes me nervous for every word I say has to count and everything I do is watched carefully.

The truth here is that I’m nothing special without Jesus, and I haven’t accomplished anything by my power but with God’s power and authority. I am only but a steward doing what I have been called to do as a Pastor to help lead and serve the Saints and humanity. I need to be constantly reminded that Jesus is the true authority and power.

Yes! we all need this reminder in our lives. Any time we begin to think we have all the answers, we need to be reminded that ultimately it all comes from God.

At the end of Jesus’ ministry, he told his disciples that all authority had been given to him. Then he sent them into the world as his representatives (Matthew 28:18-20.)

By his authority, we are sent to bring his good news of grace and love to the world as well. Our faith isn’t built on our abilities and strength. It is built on Jesus’ power and authority.

PRAYER

Father, remind us every day that you are in charge. Yes! your power and authority are supreme, Have your way. In Jesus’ name Amen.
