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

Jesus is the true authority and power. I’m nothing special, and I haven’t accomplished anything by my own power. But with God’s power and authority, we can help lead a people and present His Word to others. God’s power is so much greater than ours, and that’s a really good thing!

I think 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. 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 own abilities and strength. It is built on Jesus’ power and authority.
