Walk the Talk.
21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.-Mark1:21-28
How did Jesus
teach? Why is it that it is with authority? Can it be imitated? For
me, Jesus taught with authority because He did not preach alone but
lived out what He taught. He did not pass the 'yoke' and 'burden' to
the people, but He helped carry the 'yoke' and the 'burden.' What's
great is that Jesus' yoke and burden are easy and light, and can be
imitated. The very heart of Jesus' Words, Teaching, Actions and
Thought center on Love. And Love is easy for all who are open to it.
Love is not about romance only, or the sweetness of it only, or the
hardships one experiences for a ladylove. True love forgives, gives,
understands, and so much more. Pope Francis said, "Do not scold;
heal." Love does not scold, it heals. However, healing, mercy,
compassion and understanding does not mean toleration of evil.
