God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The Rabbis spoke from authority, Jesus with authority. Those who heard Him 'were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes' (Mark 1:22). C.H. Dodd renders 'He taught them like a sovereign, and not like the Rabbis'... Justin Martyr [said], 'His word was power from God.' 'Thus says the Lord' is typical of the Old Testament, but Jesus' characteristic expression is 'Truly, truly, I say to you.' The difference is significant. Jesus appealed to no other authority as He spoke to men of the deep things of God.
Leon Morris

A church without authority is no church at all, and that self-created authority is in essence no authority at all. If person A is free to establish his own church of his own will, person B, when under this self-created authority can flee said authority simply by self-creating his own authority.

    Maybe springnhas finally come.

    After a few showers this morning, it is a 

    sunny day with temperatures in the 70's. 

    I'm seeing several spring flowers and some 

    of the trees are starting to bud.

    1. Preliminaries

    2. Military Initials

                         ------------------------------

    Preliminaries

    In an old Peanuts strip, Peppermint Patty and Violet are 

    reflecting on being a grandmother. After Patty declares 

    that she would like to be a grandmother, Violet agrees 

    and says it would be nice because all they have to do 

    is "sit and rock". 

    The girls then decide that the trouble with being a 

    grandmother is that first you have to be a wife and then 

    a mother...and Violet sighs, "I know it...it's all those

    preliminaries that get me!"

    Military Initials

    When I was a newly commissioned Lieutenant in the 

    Army, I was assigned as a temporary assistant in 

    an administrative office in a Military Intelligence 

    unit. One day a log came around with a cover sheet 

    instructing all assigned officers to read it and 

    initial it as indication of their compliance. I 

    figured it meant me too, so I read and initialed it.

    However, a few days later, it came back addressed 

    specifically to me. An attached note read:"You are 

    not permanently assigned to this unit and are thus 

    not an authorized signee. Please erase your initials 

    and initial your erasure."

    So I did.
