The King is Here: Doing The Stuff

This last Sunday we were joined by a guest speaker, Rev. Beau Brumley. Beau picked up where we left off, in Luke 8.    Up until this point in Luke’s account, we’ve seen Jesus demonstrate His power over nature and over the demonic. In Luke 8v40-56 Jesus demonstrates His power over sickness and death by healing the woman who touched the fringe of His garment, and raising Jairus’ daughter from the dead.    Do you believe that Jesus has authority over nature, the demonic, sickness, and even death? Immediately after these stories, we read about Jesus sending out the twelve disciples with that same authority, to do the same things He had been doing.    We can’t avoid this as disciples of Jesus. He showed us how to do the stuff and then told us to go do it. When we exercise the authority that we’ve been given, people encounter God and His glory gets magnified. May we be attentive to His prompting for this reason!
