Episode 154: Surrender Authority
The Poco a Poco Podcast

52m
How does Jesus have authority? It is through His obedience to the Father.
But one incredible reality of Jesus is that, in His authority He takes all the stench to the cross where it will be killed in His crucifixion.
His authority is not one that lords it over us. It's not one that forces us to bow down and tremble before Him. But it's one that allows Himself to be emptied and clothed with all the messiness, struggles, confusion and pain so he can take it to his death at the cross.
And in His authority he conquers sin and death, upon his resurrection.
This episode is the sixth part of our Lenten series on Fr. Mark Toups's Lenten Companion that reminds us that we should not take lightly that God comes and let himself be stripped and crucified for all of us—an invitation to allow Jesus to have authority to live his life in obedience and in surrender to his Father, within ourselves.

In one form or another, we can sometimes live in isolation and hiding. Because of shame and sin, we clothe ourselves with shadows and hide.
