Then they went into Capernaum, and right away He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach. They were astonished at His teaching because, unlike the scribes, He was teaching them as one having authority. (HCSB)
This morning as I sat down to spend time in the Word I was led to these two verses of Scripture. As I spent time meditating and reflecting on this passage the Holy Spirit led me to a wonderful find and that was in the word "authority" is the word "author". Jesus is the Author and Finisher, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last! When we read the Word we are hearing the Author of the Word. We hear the One speaking the Word into our lives! The Word is being revealed to us by the Author of Creation! Jesus knows everything about us and we need to allow the Author to lead our life, as well as allow the Author to have authority over our life; that is what we should strive for. Jesus loves us so much and He desires to have an intimate relationship with us - so reach out and allow the Author to write the next chapter of your life; He knows everything about you and desires what is best for you!
