Ep 11 - Authority from Above

Unshaken | Shalom World

When Jesus stood before Pilate before the crucifixion, Pilate asked Jesus: “Where are you from?” Jesus remained silent. Pilate had great authority, one that gave Him the power to condemn or set Jesus free. When Pilate said this to Jesus, He said: “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above.” (John 19:11). Real authority comes from above; it comes from the Father. Jesus had authority over nature, sickness, sin… He stood in the same authority as the Father. When we accept the authority from above, we too can enjoy the fruits of Eden as Adam and Eve did. Human beings are given the choice to accept or reject this authority; our free will allows us to choose the path for our lives. We are given the graces from above when we respect and obey the authority from above. Nothing can challenge any of us when we stand in the name and authority of Our Father in Heaven who reigns over the world.
