On whose authority

Friends,

When a leader speaks, the weight and authority of his role support his words. Too often, we confuse leadership and celebrity, giving undue influence to those who are famous because of being famous. To often we dismiss the true authority of God's word in favor of the deception and bondage of the world's word.

John 7:16 [NKJV]
Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

Our Lord recognized that His authority came from the Father, the One who sent Him. We would do well to acknowledge that authority in our own lives. And to bring our own actions into submission.
