Jesus’s Authority
'Do not work for food that goes bad, but work for food that endures for eternal life, which Son of God gives us.
The chief priests and elders were asking Jesus what authority he had to give all these teachings and his wondrous miracles he made 'What authority are you to act like this? And who gave you this authority?' 24 In reply, Jesus said to them, ‘And I will ask you a question, just one; if you tell me the answer to it, then I will tell you my authority for acting like this. 'Mt 21: 23……. Jesus never gave them a proper answer. He was asked how the baptism of John the Baptist was. This was the same question Jesus asked me to clear my doubts about the pentecostal believers, while I was reflecting on the Word of God…'25 Jesus said, John's baptism: what was its origin, heavenly or human?' They argued this way among themselves, ‘If we say heavenly, he will retort to us, “Then why did you refuse to believe him?”; 26 but if we say human, we have people to fear, for they all hold that John was a prophet.' 27 So their reply to Jesus was, ‘We do not know.' And he retorted to them, ‘Nor will I tell you my authority for acting like this' Jesus inspired me through his Spirit and told me when these people would come to me to do the second baptism, give the answer he gave to Pharisees and Sadducees. Many Pentecostal Pasters came to me and asked whether I was saved or not and the same about baptism second baptism, asked this question which he asked the chief priests and elders. We should not have any doubt about the authority of Jesus. He is the Son of God. 'Do not work for food that goes bad, but work for food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of man will give you, for on him the Father, God himself, has set his seal. John 6: 27. Heavenly Father put the seal on His Son, which means His authority He has given to Jesus and which cannot be questioned by anybody.
