"Speak these things..."
Text: Titus 2:15
THE AUTHORITY OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
When Jesus ministered on earth, people could note the authority He possessed. Three aspects may be noted:-
1. Authority in the teaching of God’s word (Mark 1:22)
2. Authority over demons (Mark 1:34)
3. Authority over the elements (Luke 8:25)
AUTHORITY GIVEN TO THE APOSTLES
The Lord Jesus Christ delegated authority to His apostles on at least two occasions:-
1. The First Commission Matthew 10:1
2. The Great Commission Matthew 28:18-20
THE AUTHORITY OF THE APOSTLES
The apostle Paul in turn sent out servants of God based on apostolic authority. The following text highlights this.
“Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
Let no one despise you.”
Titus 2:15
