Matthew 5-10

The crowds marvelled at the Lord Jesus because He spoke with authority. Authority. That's what the Word of the Lord caries wherever it goes. The Lord doesn't say 'thus says the Lord,' but He says, I say to you.' Authority. He is the King. 

He has authority over the weather, over sicknesses, over demons. and over my heart, i pray. Your kingdom come, your will be done. Yours or mine, we can't have both. I can either build the house of my life on the sand, or i can build the house of my life on the sand. The Word of the Lord is life, hope, light and freedom. And it's radical. The Lord doesn't come to coddle or to comfort but to make alive. Birth is painful. There are hands to cut off, eyes to gouge out. Being a Christian is violent. There are crosses to pick up. Being a Christian will kill. But it will only kill to make alive. We must follow the Lord wherever He calls, this is the only path to life.
