Part XXII

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.

Lord clean our hearts and minds to make a home in us for eternity! 

    Jesus was very zealous about the House of God and the Kingdom of God. This is showing how our heart should be, all kind of worldly desires the natural inclinations and works of darkness be omitted. He is asking us to prepare ourselves in repentance when we approach him in the Holy Sacraments. 13 When the time of the Jewish Passover was near Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there. 15 Making a whip out of cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, sheep and cattle as well, scattered the money changers’ coins, knocked their tables over 16 and said to the dove sellers, ‘Take all this out of here and stop using my Father’s house as a market.’ 17 Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am eaten up with zeal for your house. Jn 2:13-17. Jesus is throwing away all unclean spirits that come in the way of keeping his spiritual temple holy. Our heart is the temple of the Holy Spirit. There are many evil inclinations in human nature but we have to nurture divine action in us. When we allow Jesus to work in us through His Holy Spirit, the Spirit will direct our lives ! The Advocate has been promised to us. Let us give ourselves to Him. 

  Lord clean our hearts and minds to make a home in us for your eternity!  

Jesus Son of God

Father and Son are One God, forever in eternity. Amen

  Whatever we asks in Son's name, we will get. Jesus is telling us, we did not ask anything from the Father in Jesus name. We should ask for peace and joy from Him. God is love, so we should ask him the love to love our close dear ones, our neighbours, and to love our enemies.  Luke 10:27 (NJB): He replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.’This is the second commandment Jesus taught us while he was on earth. How can we believe that Jesus and Father are one? He came from the Father, as we believe that Jesus had risen from the dead and as his promise of sending the Holy Spirit, he had to leave the earth and to be united with the Father by ascending to Heaven. So how blessed we are, now we are preparing in prayer to have the Holy Spirit. John 16: 23-28(NJB)..When that day comes, you will not ask me any questions. In all truth I tell you, anything you ask from the Father he will grant in my name. 24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and so your joy will be complete. 25 I have been telling you these things in veiled language. The hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language but tell you about the Father in plain words. 26 When that day comes you will ask in my name; and I do not say that I shall pray to the Father for you, 27 because the Father himself loves you for loving me, and believing that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world and now I am leaving the world to go to the Father.’  Jesus came from the Father, now he is going to the Father. So we believe that Father and Son are One God forever in eternity. Amen.

The teachings of Jesus was new for the people those listened to him. 

  The people were amazed at the teachings of Jesus which was new for them. Mark 1:27 (NJB): The people were so astonished that they started asking one another what it all meant, saying, ‘Here is a teaching that is new, and with authority behind it: he gives orders even to unclean spirits and they obey him.’ Jesus gave orders to evil spirits with authority. He taught the people with authority. No evil could stand in front of him. Jesus never looked at the personality, or the wealth and fame of a person. He was not afraid of anyone. But he talked and behaved with them in love, patience and mercy. Mark 5:7–8 (NJB): and shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? In God’s name do not torture me!’ 8 For Jesus had been saying to him, ‘Come out of the man, unclean spirit.’ The evil spirits recognize Jesus as the Son of God and plead him not to torture them. They were afraid of him. What about us ? How much faith do we have in Jesus ? How about our fear of God, our hatred of evil ?

Whoever denies Jesus Christ is Anti Christ 

  God has given all authority to His Only Son. He has entrusted all judgment to His Son and given him power to raise the dead and give life to those who come to him. So we must not neglect the Sonship of Jesus. Whoever denies Jesus, denies the Father as well. 1 John 2:22–25 (NJB): Who is the liar, if not one who claims that Jesus is not the Christ? This is the Antichrist, who denies both the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son cannot have the Father either; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father too. 24 Let what you heard in the beginning remain in you; as long as what you heard in the beginning remains in you, you will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And the promise he made you himself is eternal life. We believe in the Son and He is the Truth. We cannot deny the Truth. Whoever denies Jesus is not in Christ, they are the Anti Christ, who deny both the Father and the Son. 1 John 5:20 (NJB): We are well aware also that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know the One who is true. We are in the One who is true as we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and this is eternal life. Children, be on your guard against false gods. We are well aware also that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know the One who is true. We are in the One who is true as we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and this is eternal life. Children, be on your guard against false gods.  When we believe in the name of the Son of God we inherit eternal life. Let us build ourselves up on the foundations of our most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keeping ourselves in the love of God and waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to give us eternal life. (Jude 20, 21,22)

Part XVII

  After the baptism of Jesus by St John the Baptist, a cloud came over Jesus and Heavenly Father Himslef declared that Jesus is His own Son. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’Mk. 9: 7. Heavenly Father says to us, Jesus is His Son and listen to him and obey him. Similar incident happened in Gospel of John  John 2:5 (NJB): His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ When there was no wine in the wedding in Cana Mother Mary told Jesus that, there was no wine. But Jesus was not ready for doing any miracle, he could not resist his mother. Mother Mary knew Jesus will do her request and that is why she told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you to do”Everything the prophets prophesied in Old Testament and in Psalms got fulfilled. Whatever the Father does the Son does too. To this Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, by himself the Son can do nothing; he can do only what he sees the Father doing: and whatever the Father does the Son does too Jesus himself says whatever Father does, Son does too. He admits here he and Father is One the inseparable God in unity.  20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he himself does, and he will show him even greater things than these, works that will astonish you. 21 Thus, as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses; 22 for the Father judges no one; he has entrusted all judgement to the Son, 23 so that all may honour the Son as they honour the Father. Whoever refuses honour to the Son refuses honour to the Father who sent him.(Jon 5: 19-23). All the authority Father gave to His son so that all may honour him, as we honour the Father. Jesus has the authority to do judgment on anyone. If anyone dishonour Jesus, dishonour the Father as well. When we honour Jesus we honour the Father Himself.

“You are my Son, today I have fathered You”

   Many were baptised by John the Baptist as he was chosen to make a way for Christ to bring salvation to whole humanity. While Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, Jesus prayed to God and Heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit came down in physical form, a dove and voice came down 'You are my Son, today I have fathered you' Now it happened that when all the people had been baptised and while Jesus after his own baptism was at prayer, heaven opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical form, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son; today I fathered you.' Lk. 3: 22. Heavenly Father Himslef says about His beloved Son. He's saying He fathered Jesus Christ, his Son. The baptism of Jesus gave us a new meaning that we became sons and daughters because Jesus gave his own life on Cross of Calavary, a living sacrifice to establish the New Covenant with his own Blood, a true oblation. In Psalms, Psalmist prophesies that Jesus is the Son of God. I will proclaim the decree of Yahweh: He said to me, ‘You are my son, today I fathered you. Heavenly Father Himself says He is fathered Jesus.

   Jews could not tolerate that Jesus was God. They consider this is blasphemy against God. They could not believe Jesus Son of God. We are not able to unless God reveals to us, Jesus is Son of God. Still, many believe in Jesus, he is son of God. They believed it because they experienced the signs and wonders he gave in their midst. “You are blaspheming, ” because I said “I am the son of God.” If I am not doing my Father's work, there is no need to believe me; but if I am doing it, then even if you refuse to believe in me, at least believe in the work I do; then you will know for sure that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.' They wanted to arrest him then, but he eluded them. He went back again to the far side of Jordan to stay in the district where John had once been baptising. Many people who came to see him there said, ‘John gave no signs, but all he said about this man was true'; and many of them believed in him. John 10:31-42
