Authority. Jesus is the ultimate authority and the irony of the chief priests questioning his credentials.

Dr. Steven Paulson, Luther House of Study’s Director of Lutheran Theology, joins the podcast to talk about authority, Jesus flipping the legal trap he’s trying to be caught in, and what change happens to you in your baptism.

In the conversation Adam, Kiri, and Mason ask: 

• Why does Christ’s word actually cause something to happen?
• What is the significance of the temple? 
• What’s the difference between Jesus’ word and a rabbi’s?
