Authority (Luke 4:31-44)

Luke 4:31-44 will tell us that Jesus has authority. What does that mean? He had power that impacted His teaching, His encounters with demons, and His healing. Yet, Jesus emphasized His teaching ministry as the main purpose of His ministry. His authority is still with us today through the presence of His Holy Spirit and His Word.
