The Authority of Jesus

 (ID: 2838)

When the Jewish leaders challenged the basis of Jesus’ authority, they highlighted the same issue that confronts all who consider the claims of Christ. Will we acknowledge that Jesus rightfully has authority over our lives? Alistair Begg reminds us that by nature, none of us wants to submit to Christ’s demands. We need God’s grace to humble us into seeing Jesus as our King and Lord.
