In today's Gospel reading from Luke 4, people were astonished at the teaching of Jesus because he spoke with authority. They were also amazed that with power and authority Jesus commanded unclean spirits. In the Gospels, we read how the scribes and Pharisees repeatedly tested Jesus, trying to trip him; never once did they succeed. The all-knowing Lord had all the answers. He even read people's minds and hearts. All proofs that he is God. Yes, he was put to death, but that's what he had willed. We do go against his will, but that's because he had given us the free will and we misuse it. All authority and power is his. Banish all thoughts that we can rebel and come out on top. Total obedience is the way to go.
