You gave your Son power over the works of your hand.
Jesus is the Son of God with all the powers of heaven and earth and as God would, he exercised his authority with love, gentleness, compassion and mercy. He preached what he practiced, and practiced what he stood for, unlike the authorities of this world. He exercised his authority in full obedience to His father’s will. In Jesus we have an authority figure that goes so far as to give his very life for others.
All of us, in one way or the other, also exercise authority, whether it be as a parent, an elder brother or sister, teacher or in our workplace. Jesus is our example and guide in the exercise of our authority.
“What others think of me is becoming less and less important; what they think of Jesus because of me is critical.” – Cliff Richard.
