Authority That Heals
Luke 5:17-26
Jesus is a man of power and authority.
Power and authority are essential to mature humanity.
Authority exists to heal, not to harm.
Harmful authority protects itself by doing hard things privately and easy things publicly.
Harmful authority becomes dishonorable by seeking its own honor.
Harmful authority invalidates people, dishonors God and discredits the gospel.
Healing authority protects the weak by inviting scrutiny and risking reputation.
Healing authority is honorable by seeking the honor of others.
Healing authority validates people, honors God and makes the gospel credible.
Without honor, authority cannot fulfill its healing purpose.
Honoring authority is essential to character.
Only Jesus has authority to restore our souls.
Salvation Prayer
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for drawing me to Yourself from my darkness, my sin, and my shame. I repent of my sins, and I ask You to forgive me. I welcome You into my heart, and I surrender my future into Your hands. Guide me by Your Holy Spirit, and help me to be a reflector of Your light to those around me. Thank You for including me in Your family. Amen
