The Amazing Authority of Jesus
Some of us have been teachers and we have all had
teachers in the course of our educational lives. Some of
those teachers we remember with great fondness. Some of
WKHPKDGDVLJQL¿FDQWLQÀXHQFHIRUJRRGRQXV,QWRGD\¶V
Gospel, the people of Capernaum recognize Jesus who
had come to their synagogue as a teacher. He taught them
with authority. This journey of Jesus to the synagogue
where He taught and healed a man with an unclean spirit
LVWKH¿UVWSXEOLFDFWRI-HVXVLQ0DUN¶V*RVSHO+LVZRUGV
had the ring of truth, and people knew He meant them.
Do we listen to the words of Christ? What authority do
our words carry?
7KH¿UVWUHDGLQJRIWKHGD\WDNHQIURPWKHERRNRI
Deuteronomy (18:15-20), is of the powerful communi-
cation of Moses before he ends his trip to the Promised
Land. He reminds the people of Israel about the work
of God, that He will raise up a prophet from among their
own people to lead them to the promised Land. Moses
recalls the words of the Lord “I will raise up for them a
prophet like you from among your kin and will put my
words into his mouth; he shall tell all that I command
him.” Just to show the prophet is actually a mouthpiece
of God, Moses concludes his speech with a reminder to
the new prophet: if he fails to speak in the name of the
Lord and for the Lord, he shall surely die.
In the past two weeks, we have listened to the
call of evangelists John and Mark. This week, the Gos-
pel of Mark brings us the idea of how Jesus, unlike their
contemporary scribes and Pharisees, teaches them with
DXWKRULW\:HVHHWKHSURSKHF\RI0RVHVIXO¿OOHGLQWKH
teaching of Christ. In Mark, chapter 3, He calls His disci-
ples to be with Him, to imbibe the same spirit and power.
:KHQ+HFDOOHGWKH¿UVWWZHOYHDSRVWOHV+HFDOOHGWKHP
“to be his companions and to be sent out to proclaim the
message, with power to drive out devils” (3:14). He gives
this power to all of us at the time of our Baptism. We are
cleansed from original sin and called to be heirs of this
power. What are we doing with that enormous gift, power,
we have received in baptism?
So many people were in the synagogue, and only
WKHPDQZLWKDQXQFOHDQVSLULW¿UVWUHFRJQL]HG-HVXV+H
shouts out “What do you want with us Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the
Holy one of God” (1:26). Jesus never could tolerate evil
anywhere around him. He chases evil ones immediately
from His site. We too are called to do the same every time
– never give the evil one any chance to take possession
of one’s life and power. It is good to ask “Am I able to
GL൵HUHQWLDWHWKHHYLOVLQPHDQGDURXQGPH"´ “ Do I give
the devil his opportunity or do I chase him out when I
recognize his presence anywhere around me?”
Therefore, Sunday’s message is that we are called
to live as Holy ones of God, consecrated, and dedicated.
There is a task instilled in all of us to be Holy and upright
and use the power constantly to chase the evil ones from
our surroundings. Jesus calls every one of us Christians
to this moral uprightness. When we live in those moral
values, we will be able to exercise power as the children
of God.
Decisions we make every day in our lives make
deep impacts in every one of us; we are to properly utilize
that authority that Jesus gives us. For us as Christians,
Jesus remains the ultimate authority. That is why we con-
fess Jesus not just as our teacher but as our Lord. We are
happy to submit to His authority, to His lordship because
we recognize that in doing so, we will have life to the full,
and, like the man in the Gospel, be freed of those spirits
that prevent us from becoming persons God intends us
to be. We need to be with Him constantly, to charge our
divinity from diminishing day by day. I am reminded of
the scripture verse: “If you remain in me and my words
remain in you, you may ask for whatever you please and
you will get it” (Jn. 15:7).
