Title: The Authority of Jesus (14)
Series: Luke
Author: Zach Terry
Text: Luke 4:31-44
INTRODUCTION: When studying a text of scripture one of the things to watch for is the repetition of a word or concept. Generally, the Biblical writers will stack or chunk things together in order to make a point.

A. Jesus Rebukes the Demon who possessed a man in the Synagogue (Luke 4:31-37)
B. Jesus Rebukes the Sickness in Peter's Mother in Law (Luke 4:38-39)
C. Jesus Rebukes the a demon possessed in the Crowd (Luke 4: 40-41)
What is the point that Luke is making? Luke is driving home the Innate Authority that Jesus possessed. This is one of the things that is missed in many of the modern depictions of Jesus.
- Ancient Art over emphasized the Divine Nature of Jesus - if you weren't sure which one was Jesus, it's always the one whose head is glowing.
- Modern Art over emphasizes the Human Nature of Jesus - This is the Jesus is my Homeboy approach. We see this in shows like, "the chosen" that present Jesus as not ...
