Jesus Reveals His Authority

Jesus Reveals His Authority

Who is Jesus? That is what Luke is answering for us, and that is the most important question you will ever grapple with. In Luke 4:31-44, Jesus reveals himself as the Son of God who has authority in three domains:

  1. Teaching (vv. 31-32, 42-44)
  2. Demons (vv. 33-37, 40)
  3. Sickness (vv. 38-39, 41)

Jesus has authority in every single realm both seen and unseen, physical and spiritual. “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38-39).
