UNRIVALED: Christ's Authority in a Rebel World
An unsettling by-product of our fallen human nature is our tendency to have issues with authority figures (aka ‘authority issues’). We often find ourselves resisting, rejecting and recoiling at the thought of listening to someone else! So we can understand the religious leaders of Jesus’ day sinfully challenging His authority, can’t we? We get it because we are so similar it isn’t even funny. But by the grace of God change is possible. When God gets a hold of us, the gospel changes us from the inside out and Jesus transforms us into people who love to obey His Word. Sin still rears its ugly head but God’s grace conquers our sin. Victory is assured in Christ.
