FAITH CAPSULE: Are you still questioning His authority?

Matthew 21:1-27

It is true that all authority has been given to Jesus. Jesus confirmed that all authority has been given to Him. Matthew 28:18, After His resurrection, He appeared to His disciples and made known to them stating, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.”  Authority is power. The power that belongs to Jesus is the power over all creation; it is the power to heal and to deliver; it is the power in His Word and the authority which no man can deny.  By the power invested in Jesus, He has the authority to cleanse all that is due for cleaning so that God may reign and rule in our life. Whatever needs to be cleansed in our temple (our life) we should take it to Him in our prayer to clean us.
The Bible recorded how He went to clean the temple at a point in His ministry. Jesus overturned the tables of the money changers and He drove those that were buying and selling out. Jesus was able to clean the temple by driving out all the irrelevancies and He left. Matthew 21:23 stated, “Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and  said, ‘By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?’”  The priests and the elders realized there was authority in place which could not be denied from delivering His agenda.
Jesus Christ is the Authority. However, questioning Authority and where He gets His authority from is an absolute lack of knowledge. Are you questioning His authority too?
While Jesus was here on earth the chief priests constantly questioned His authority.
The Bible testified that, “He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matthew 7:29)
In spite of the fact that His teachings were given with authority they could not recognize Jesus as the Authority. Today so many are still questioning His authority. Inside and outside of the Church, His authority is being constantly questioned.
Are you questioning His authority too?
Recognizing Jesus’ authority is demonstrating uncommon faith which is the power to be healed and to be delivered. Accept Him by recognizing His authority and healing and deliverance will be your portion just like the centurion’s servant. The Bible identified Jesus in Colossians 1:15-16 “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.”  Now we know why He is the authority. Are you still questioning His authority?

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace that His authority will reign and rule your life all the days of your life.
