Jesus' Authority - Part 1 (Mark 1:21-28)
Bob Schultz, May 19, 2013Part of the Gospel of Mark series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Today we are going to consider the authority of Jesus in His teaching and His total power over the demons so that we would continue to learn more about Him and grow in our faith. As we consider the historical Jesus, may we desire to worship Him and spread the news about Him everywhere we go for the glory of God.
Mark 1:21–28 (Listen)
21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
