Calvary Chapel River Oaks

We began our study in the gospel of Mark last week. We saw that Jesus displayed His authority not only in word, but in action. When He began to teach, the people were amazed at His teaching with authority not like the scribes who knew the law and could quote the law, but Jesus was fulfilling the very law that they were quoting.

Matthew 5:17-18,

17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

He wrote it and it was always about Him and His coming as their Messiah. They missed Him but the demons knew exactly who He is. We saw His authority over them as well. Not only does he cast them out, He has authority to silence them as well. So Jesus is on the move and this week we will see his continued authority over all things and how we need to be careful not to be crowd followers, but keep grounded in Jesus.
