Real Authority – by Jon Boustead

Luke Smith — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 11:20:20 +0000

One verse stuck out to me as i was reading today – the first verse I came to when reminding my self of what I had read yesterday!

“And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine: For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” – Matt 7:28-29

What struck me the most with this verse, was the contrast drawn between the teaching of the scribes, and the teachings of Jesus – the difference being that Christ has AUTHORITY! The authority of the Kingdom of Heaven drove every word that came from His lips. And His very character, being the model through which these words were taught….what probably drove the scribes was pride, and intellect – head knowledge. But what Jesus specialised in, was getting to the HEART of the matter.
The scribes would be spurting out scriptures left, right and centre – they were up to their ears in scripture, but Jesus would trump it, because they remained on face value! – Jesus would say “No, you say it’s like this, but I’m telling you, it’s like THIS! Yes, do not murder, BUT if you hate your brother without cause, then you are guilty as charged”

Jesus acknowledged that murder itself was wrong, but it’s a hateful heart that drives a murderous one – and Jesus highlights the spiritual implications.

It’s the heart of Christ that we should be seeking in our lives and in our teaching/knowledge of scripture. Not just reciting scripture, not even just living by scripture – the scribes did that to a certain extent – applying everything at face value – but instead we should seek the HEART of scripture, or rather the heart of Christ on scripture. To simply know it, is not enough. Head knowledge will only get you through a pop-quiz. It’s the heart that matters. The heart behind the words and between the lines.
