“AS ONE WHO HAD AUTHORITY”
Jesus’ manner of teaching
Teaching for all people, at all times
THE BASIS OF JESUS’ AUTHORITY
Who is Jesus? (Colossians 1:16; John 14:6; Philippians 2:19-21)
As God, Jesus has no limitations
How do we know Jesus really is who He clams to be?
Jesus’ words and the Apostles’ words
HOW SHOULD WE RESPOND WHEN JESUS SPEAKS TO US?
Listen, believe, and obey (Matthew 7:24a,26a; James 1:22)
How exactly do we listen to Jesus?
What commands do we need to obey? (Mark 1:15; Matthew 22:37,39; 28:18-21)
When Jesus speaks, may the Lord help us to listen, believe, and obey
