Luke: Power and Authority
Last week in our teaching passage, Jesus read from the prophet Isaiah (chapter 61) and stated His mission as the Messiah. In our text this week (Luke 4:31-44) Jesus goes out and starts fulfilling the vision that He promised. And, He continues to demonstrate powerand authority, over unclean spirits as well as sickness and disease. Jesus personifies the essence of the angel Gabriel’s message to Mary, “Nothing will be impossible for God!"
