The Authority and Power of Christ Part 2 - The Authority Given of God

John 3:2 “Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.”  This shows the authority and power of God.  Jesus could not do these miracles except God had given the authority and power to Him.  This was even true with Moses.  Moses could not lead the children of Israel out of Egypt unless God had authorized Him.  That would have been impossible.  God came to Moses and gave Him the authority and power to bring forth the children of Israel from bondage.  God was with Him and Moses was speaking the words of God into the earth.  Jesus said these words testified of Him.  They were His testimony. Jesus was far greater than Moses.  God was not just with Him, but He said of His Father that He that is in me doeth the works.  Jesus declared that He had greater witness than John.  The works He was doing was testifying of His authority.  Jesus was speaking into the earth the Eternal Word of God.  If we can hear it, Jesus is the Eternal Word of God, and the Power of His Word brings forth His Life within us.  Glory to God! John 5:36But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
