The Gift of Living Under Authority
We’re rightly suspicious of authority. “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” Lord Acton quips. But one day Jesus met a Roman soldier who understood the power of being under power. “I am a man under authority,” he says, and because I am, “I say to one ‘Go,’ and he goes.” Maybe today we feel so impotent because we’re so intent on throwing off authority and becoming our own. The Bible offers an alternative: to find the authority of our lives under the authority of a great King.
