Matthew 9:
The Authority of the King – Pt 2
October 25, 2020 / Matthew 9:- Jesus Has Authority Over Sin – Matthew 9:1-8
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
- Jesus Has Authority to Save – Matthew 9:9-13
Matthew did nothing to earn his salvation.
- He was politically unacceptable
- He was socially unacceptable
- He was religiously unacceptable
- Jesus Has Authority Over Death – Matthew 9:18-26
When we began in Matthew’s gospel, we found that there are three types of people in the world:
- Those who like Jesus and follow Him for what they can get from Him
- Those who reject Jesus and His authority
- Those who renounce all in order to follow Him
The right response is the last one – the one Matthew chose by renouncing all to follow Jesus and trust in His grace, mercy, and authority over his life.
