Introduction:
We no longer live in a day where an understanding of the Bible and Jesus is prominent.
Most don’t truly understand who Jesus is and what He came to do.
Today, I want to tell you about who Jesus is.
Who is Jesus?
This book is all about Jesus and His gospel.
I. Jesus’ authority as a teacher.
The people were surprised at the method of Jesus’ teaching.
He did not quote the thoughts of other Rabbis or teachers.
His characteristic way of teaching was, “I say unto you…”
II.
Jesus’ authority over evil spirits
In verse 24, the demon is defensive and resistant: he senses in Jesus a threat to his existence.
Jesus had authority even over the powers of spiritual darkness that the people could not handle.
III.
Jesus’ authority over sickness
At just a word this woman was instantly healed.
The Bible contains over thirty such incidents - the sick, blind, lame, and leprous were healed.
The Gospel of Mark contains many such examples of Jesus’ extraordinary authority.
IV.
Jesus’ authority over nature
In a violent storm, he stood up in a boat and commanded the wind and waves to die down, and they obeyed.
V. Jesus’ authority to forgive sins
Jesus said to the man: “Thy sins be forgiven thee.”
The religious leaders rightly saw this as a claim to be equal with God.
The rest of the New Testament tells us that Jesus is indeed equal with God as God’s Son - more than that, he is both God and man in one person (emphasize this point).
So this is the picture we are building.
Jesus has come into God’s creation, God’s world, with the full authority of God.
There is not part of the creation - animate, inanimate, human or spiritual - over which Jesus does not rule.
VI.
Jesus’ authority over life and death
On three recorded occasions he raised up dead people - even Lazarus, who had been dead for four days.
As God in human form, he not only forgives sins: he had power over life and death.
However, there is one more area of Jesus’ authority we need to consider.
VII.
Jesus’ authority over people
Jesus went to almost complete strangers and commanded them to leave their jobs and follow him.
As the Son of God, Jesus makes the same claim over your life and mine.
He calls ordinary people like us to follow him.
These four men did.
Some whom Jesus called later refused to follow him.
In the whole of creation Jesus’ authority is never resisted, except by the wills of human beings!
God, however, commands us to submit to the authority of his Son.
Conclusion:
We have seen in this study:
Jesus’ great authority as God’s Son.
He is the supreme Master in God’s world.
He claimed to be divine.
You must need to come to a decision about him.
Someone called Jesus “The man you can’t ignore.”
You can say he is a liar, a lunatic, or Lord.
You can come to know Jesus today.
He can be the Lord and Savior of your life today.
All you have to do is trust in Him.
