John 20:17-18, Esther 2-8

Sometimes, when a manager or supervisor gives us instructions, it can be really hard to say, “Yes, sir.” Sometimes, we hear what a politician says and think, “That’s a terrible idea!” These things are hard because we have a natural distaste for authority. We are much happier ruling our own lives and being our own bosses. In today’s message, Pastor Mark teaches that when it comes to authority, we ought to follow Jesus’s example. Sure, He disrupted the course of history, but He followed God’s authority. Imagine what your life would look like if you made God the boss of your life and listened to every word He spoke to you.
