Jesus’ Author-ity



1 Sm 1:9-20 / Mk 1:21-28

“He spoke with authority.” Jesus is the author-ity. Jesus is the author of life. We — made in His image and likeness — reflect Him. That is why the demons hate us so much. The fact that the Author chose to become one with His own “writing” made them jealous — especially Lucifer. Yet, His author-ity could not be denied or ignored by them.

Ultimately, that same author-ity cannot be ignored by us either. Jesus has written our hearts with His own creative love. He has also written how we are to respond to that love. The best and most enduring writing He gave us is in The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5, Luke 6). Would you confound the demons in and around your life? Let Him write — re-write – your heart. The Sermon on the Mount is a great place to start the re-write process.
