Authority. We all love it, right?!
If we are honest, we seem to only like certain authorities as long as they don’t threaten our own personal authority. Jesus threatens our personal authority. He threatens it, but also teaches us that we don’t really want to be our own authority and that we need a final authority outside of ourselves to trust in.
This Sunday we will continue our study of the Gospel of Luke by looking at the second half of chapter 4, verses 31-44. In preparation for our teaching, spend 5 to 10 minutes reading these verses and reflect on the goodness of Jesus’ authority over your life. See how other people and groups react to Jesus’ authority, and then see how Jesus’ authority can be something that doesn’t restrict you, but something that can bring you freedom.
I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday!
