    Jesus walked into the synagogue in Capernaum. When Jesus taught there was a striking difference to the norm. Not as the scribes and the teachers of the law. It says he taught as one who had authority.

    Mark 1:21-28 In Mark Chapter 1 don’t see Jesus lying in a manger. We see a different perspective of Jesus. We see a thirty-year-old man. We see Jesus with authority so striking that people can only stare in amazement. Definition of authority is the power or the right to command. Jesus’ ...read more

    When Jesus was challenged to name His authority to teach, he exposed His interlocutors as incapable of assessing His answer even were He to deign give it.

    Authority Of Jesus Christ Series

    Jesus went to Capernaum. It may have been because God's love for sinners who did not know or understand the Word of God sent Jesus to this earth, and because of Jesus' character of pitying sinners made him think that he should somehow preach the gospel of life to them.

    Introduction In Nazareth of Galilee, where he grew up, Jesus read the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue on the Sabbath and said that it had come true. Jesus declared that he was the anointed Messiah who would preach the gospel to the poor, free the captives of sin, and open their ...read more
