The Authority of Jesus

These words of scripture,
His first major sermon,
Speaking with power, authority,
Unlike the other teachers,
The experts in the Law…
 
The authority of Jesus,
Was in the identity,
Claiming who He is,
At the very start,
That He is the Son of God…
 
Not a moral teacher,
Not a good person,
Jesus proclaimed He was
The One prophesied,
He was the Christ…
 
The authority of Jesus,
Was in His words of power,
Claiming who He is,
The One who created,
The One who descending,
The One now seated on high…
