“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” Mt28.18 NKJV
We are told that Satan sought permission from God to test Job. It was granted but with certain limitations, as we would expect of God. Perhaps we should be seeking permission more often than we do. I often wonder why Christian’s are not expressing a greater pro-activity in all that is good. All authority rests with Christ. All! He sends us out into the world, to baptize and teach. These are two means He has sanctioned with His authority. We are to immerse people in faith, hope and love and doing so, teach the good news “that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them.” Here is our “prime directive,” and all permissions that are sought from Him should be centered on it. 9/5/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
