Reflection of the week

The writer of Mark’s Gospel wastes no time in establishing the authority of Jesus. In the first chapter, Jesus heals Simon’s mother-in-law and teaches in the synagogue “with authority”.

We look to leaders of government, the community and the church for leadership. Some are elected; some are appointed. I am a law-abiding citizen and I respect those in authority, but as a Christian, I acknowledge the authority of God over all aspects of my life.

Prayer

I pledge my allegiance to you, O God, as Lord of my life. I acknowledge the authority of your Word, to guide me day by day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
