I think we all like the idea of speaking with authority and just generally having authority in our lives. Well, the only way this will ever be true is if we live in accordance with God’s will – or any authority we have will be fake. Let us seek His will with a fervent and obedient heart so that our lives will truly give glory to God.


ALLELUIA

R: Alleluia, alleluia

Receive the word of God, not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God.

Mark 1:21-28


21 Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. 22 The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. 23 In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; 24 he cried out, “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 Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” 26 The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. 27 All were amazed and asked one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” 28 His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
