Dear Friends in Christ,
“A new teaching - with authority”. What did it mean for those in the synagogue who described Jesus’ teaching with that unusual word? And right here, in this moment, what does it mean to speak “with authority”?
The authority of Jesus’ teaching refers to the power and dignity with which he spoke. It is a power beyond the right Jesus had to teach in the synagogue.
It acknowledges his personal call to offer a “new teaching”. Jesus bravely enters into God-granted authority: he exerts power over unclean spirits and heals in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Jesus clearly has a sense of his authority. He knows who he is and what he is about, and his listeners are amazed. They ask, “What is this?”
When Jesus spoke in the synagogue, it was new and it was with authority. Today, Jesus speaks to us in Word and Sacrament. It is still new and he still with authority.
