4:32 HIS  MESSAGE  HAD  AUTHORITY. The basic meaning of “authority” (Gk exousia) is “the freedom and right to decide or act.” It involves capability and power (cf. v. 36). Jesus had a God-given authority from his Father (Jn 17:2), which came from knowing the Father and recognizing what the Father was doing in the world. Jesus also delegated authority to his followers (Mk 3:15; Lk 9:1). But he did not want them to become arrogant and authoritarian, so he warned them not to be like the rulers and officials of the world who “exercise authority” (Mt 20:25-28) in a way that tyrannizes or dominates others. Jesus used his authority to serve, help, instruct and free people from demonic control (v. 36; see article on POWER OVER SATAN AND DEMONS, p. 1347). 4:33 AN EVIL SPIRIT. Luke records that one of Jesus’ first acts after announcing his role as the true Messiah (the one who fulfills the prophecies about the coming Savior) was a direct confrontation with demonic powers.

Overcoming the world and worldliness

(1) Jesus’ primary concern in ministry was to destroy the devil’s works (1Jn 3:8). Christ’s followers will not realize or experience the full benefits of God’s kingdom without confronting and prevailing over Satan’s kingdom (see Mt 12:28; see article on THE KINGDOM OF GOD, p. 1294). (2) One unmistakable sign that God’s people are failing to experience and demonstrate God’s kingdom is the failure or inability to confront directly the power of evil by setting people free from the slavery to sin and demonic powers. These powers certainly recognize Christ and his authority and must submit to his followers who truly possess Christ’s power because of their deep and uncompromising relationship with him (see article on POWER OVER SATAN AND DEMONS, p. 1347). 4:40 HEALED THEM.

As a campus missionary, I will: • follow Jesus’ example of servanthood, so as to reflect God’s love and to influence others for Christ. • use my abilities and opportunities to honor God and benefit others on my campus and in my church and community. • demonstrate active compassion for those in need, just as though I am serving Jesus himself. See p. 13 for the introduction to CAMPUS MISSIONS and its five disciplines: PRAY, LIVE, SERVE, TELL, GIVE.

SERVING FOLLOWS JESUS’ EXAMPLE. How do you measure success? Most people embrace the world’s standard of doing whatever it takes to get ahead. But Jesus’ teaching defied worldly ideals: “The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever himself will training be humbled, The following items exalts provide practical related to the five commitments—or disciplines—of and whoever humbles himself will be exalted” (Mt 23:11-12; Lk 22:24-30, notes).

To show people who Jesus is and what he is like, you must actively look for ways to serve and assist others at home, school, work and in every aspect of life. By serving with proper motives, you reflect Christ’s character and compassion (Mt 20:26-28; Php 2:3-7). Your aim should not simply be to expand your ministry. You are to serve others because God’s kingdom is characterized by servanthood.

He was appointed to minister (i.e., to serve) directly around God’s Authorities (5:29—6:11) throne in heaven. Yet before the world began, he became filled with pride and rebelled against E. Selection of the 12 Disciples (6:12-16) God. As a result, he became God’s primary adversary and an enemy to all humanity (Eze 28:12F.
