Jesus IS Lord!
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.”
-- Psalm 122:6
Jesus Delegated His Authority to Man
Luke 9:1, 2 - NLT
One day Jesus called together His twelve apostles
and gave them power and authority to cast out
demons and to heal all diseases. Then He sent
them out to tell everyone about the coming of the
Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Luke 10:19 - NLT
"And I have given you authority over all the power
of the enemy, and you can walk among
snakes and scorpions and crush them.
Nothing will injure you."
Matthew 18:18 - NLT
"I tell you this:
Whatever you prohibit on earth is prohibited
in heaven, and whatever you allow on earth
is allowed in heaven."
Matthew 12:29 - NLT
"Let me illustrate this.
You can't enter a strong man's house and
rob him without first tying him up. Only then
can his house be robbed!"
Jesus' Humility and Exaltation
Philippians 2:6-8 - NLT
Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had.
Though He was God, He did not demand and cling to
His rights as God. He made Himself nothing; He took
the humble position of a slave and appeared in human
form. And in human form He obediently humbled Himself
even further by dying a criminal's death on the cross.
The Great Commission
Mark 16:15-18 - NLT
And then He told them,
“Go into all the world and preach the Good News
to everyone, everywhere. Anyone who believes and is
baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses
to believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them.”
