By What Authority? (Mark 11:28)

2022-03-22

By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? (Mark 11:28)

When asked by religious leaders, Jesus did not answer them directly. He spent three years doing miracles. They spoke for Him. The Father spoke from heaven and the Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form. As the saying goes, “actions speak louder than words.” The empty tomb still speaks to us today.

He counter asked them whether John’s message was from God or men. People, some of which were present that day, believed John without him performing a single miracle.

Miracle or no miracle, people have made up their minds on God’s authority.
