“By What Authority?” Matthew 21:23-27

What is Authority? “the power or right to give commands, enforce obedience, take action, or make final decisions” (Webster’s). Authority is the right to tell one what to do, the right to expect them to do it, and the right to punish them if they don’t. “For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it” (Matt. 8:9).

Authority in Religion is Essential The Nature of God Necessitates It Gen. 1:1; Rom. 9:20-21 The Nature of Man Requires It Jer. 10:23; Prov. 14:12 To Avoid Chaos Judges 21:25 For Our Salvation Matt. 7:21; Heb. 5:8-9; Luke 6:46

Improper Sources of Authority Themselves - Jer. 10:23; Judges 21:25 Creeds of Men - Matt. 15:9; Col. 2:20-22 Desires of Congregation - Rom. 3:4 Old Testament - Col. 2:14; Rom. 15:4 What Preacher Says - 2 Tim. 4:2; Acts 17:11 What Elders Say - Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2, 4 Results Accomplished

Nadab and Abihu’s fire (Lev. 10:1-2). David moving the ark (2 Sam. 6:1-11). King Uzzah burning incense (2 Chron. 26:16-20).
