Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneНамуна

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7).
What is the consequence of not honoring God’s authority?
Jesus is asked by the religious leaders, “By what authority are You doing these things?” (Matthew 21:23). Jesus has just cleansed the Temple and is being asked by whose authorization He acts. In traditional Jewish form, Jesus answers a question with a question. He points the religious hypocrites back to John. The Lord questions, “The baptism of John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?” (Matthew 21:25). Jesus imparts a profound truth: We need to direct rebels back to God’s authority. Essentially, He shows that if they didn’t listen to John who spoke for God, He would not answer their question. We learn that if someone disregards God’s authority, spiritual blindness follows.
Employment Point: Get under God’s authority and you’ll receive further illumination.
