Authority - Mark 11

The chief priests, the Scribes, and the Elders ask Jesus by what authority he did the things he did.  He turns this on them and tells them to tell him by what authority they do what they do.  They cannot and he tells them, "neither will I tell you".  But we know his authority came from his Father.  And he used that authority to cleanse the temple, to curse the fig tree, to teach, to heal, to forgive.   What a blessing to know of His acts, and to be able to hold a similar authority in the Priesthood.  We can use that authority to bless and serve others.
