Mark 11:27-33Peel back the onion and the most of the problems in America is rebellion and lack of submission to AuthorityLuke 6:46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say?Isaiah 65:2 I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, Who walk in a way that is not good, According to their own thoughts;We must come from an understanding of Scripture as authority- 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
What is going on in his story is quite simple-The chief priests are questioning Jesus and the authority by which he is doing what he is doing.Jesus is doing stuff they don’t like. They can tell that he is swaying the crowd and they must shut it downThe means by which they are doing it is by questioning his authorityJesus puts it back in their face- they believed John the Baptist to be a prophet, so if they believed that John was from God, then Jesus must be from God because John said that Jesus was from GodHis question put them back in their place- if you don’t want to admit that John was from God, then I’m not going to tell you by what authority I do what I doThis interaction was prophesied by Jesus in Mark 8:31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.Why was Jesus evasive? They were trying to trap him so they could bring the charge of blasphemy against him and have him crucified, but the week isn’t over yet, so he wasn’t going to tell themUnderstand- the Jewish authorities were the ones who had the spiritual and social power in this system. You had to go through them to do anything, and Jesus did whatever he wanted.He preached what he wanted. He healed who he wanted. He did whatever they wanted and it threw them in a uproar! THEY WERE THE ONES IN AUTHORITY- not him!The main issue was that they didn’t want to submit to Jesus authority. Not then. Not now.
What authorities does Jesus haveThese guys want to question authority when they have no grounds. He evades. He ISAuthority as Creator and the WORD– John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.Authority as the first and the last- Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”Authority as sustainer– Colossians 1:17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.Authority over Nature– Matt 8: 26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calmAuthority to Judge John 5:27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.Authority over time– John 2:7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.Authority over animals- Matt 17:27 Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”Authority over Sickness Mark 2:10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, take up your mat and walkAuthority over death– John 2:19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
