of Jesus The Power and Authority
Hebrews 4:12, 13 “For the word of God is living and active, Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”
Psalm 34:8 “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”
Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…”

BIG LESSON# 1 JESUS HAS POWER OVER ALL THINGS INCLUDING YOU AND ME
John 1:1-3, 14 & Colossians 1:16-20 John 1:1-3, 14“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made…The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Colossians 1:16-20 “For by Him (Christ) all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
O.T. PROPHECY OF JESUS’ DEATH “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? … Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have PIERCED my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.” Psalm 22 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have PIERCED …” Zechariah 12 “Surely he took up our sickness and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was PIERCED for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him.” Isaiah 53

Fence on the or Sitting Looking forGod?
MARK 5:24-34 “A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, ‘If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.’ Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. AT once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ You see the people crowding against you,’ his disciples answered, and yet you can ask, ‘ Who touched me?’ But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
ROMANS 10:8-13 “But what does (putting your faith in God) say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are made right with God, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. AS the Scripture says, ‘ Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.’ For there is no difference between (God’s chosen people and you and I) the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”
