All Authority comes by command!

John 10:17-18

The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

Jesus spoke with Authority, which as HE stated came from HIS Father.

Many of the Jews did not believe that HE had received that authority, and they also could not accept HIM as being their Messiah.

Where most people fail in seeing Christ as the Savior that came to die for us, while we were still in our sin, is their blindness to the very fact that they are sinners.

By their own account, they do not accept their need for salvation, nor the fact that a sacrifice is needed for their reconciliation.

Denying the Authority by which Christ was commissioned as HE obeyed even unto death, is most certainly the hindrance that many will continue in, refusing to submit and become obedient to Jehovah God.

Father God, YOU set All Authority into existence,

Placing us in subjection to YOUR Son, Christ Jesus!

There can be but ONLY ONE Master,

To Serve and Obey HIM and HIM alone!!

Many will not bow to HIM as Lord before YOUR judgement,

Only to find that HE was the ONLY ONE willing to die,

Then it will be evident, HE is the Messiah

Given All Authority in Heaven and Earth!!!
