We have been talking this week about the many aspects of authority. What is authority, by whose authority do we act, and today we are going to discuss where does authority come from politically?
Politicians all over the world claim to have the authority to rule or govern the nation they live in, but where did that authority come from? Monarchs and royalty have claimed authority as a divine right, are they correct in this assumption? Do we have the authority to tell people how to live their lives? Where does authority come from?
Daily Bible reading: Joh 15:12-14 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
Quotemeal: “We take care of our possessions for our children. But of the children themselves we take no care at all. What an absurdity is this! Form the soul of thy son aright, and the rest will be added hereafter.” — John Chrysostom
