Thirty Days of Jesus Redux: Day 25, The Authority of Jesus

By Elizabeth Prata

This section of verses that show Jesus' life are focused on His attributes & earthly ministry. We've seen Him through what He does, as servant, teacher, shepherd, intercessor, and healer. Now we look at who He is by looking at His attribute of omniscience yesterday and today we ponder His authority.

How to represent the authority of Jesus over life, in pictorial form? That was a tough one. I settled on the notion of the dock being the long journey of finite earthly life in the flesh, then we come to an inevitable end and launch up and into the eternal heavens. Jesus has authority over every step.
