This weekend we began a short series called The Calling looking at God's call for his followers. The text was Matthew 28:16-20, and we explored two parts to God's call: the calling to Jesus, and the calling to be with Jesus to change the world. I gave a list of things Jesus has authority over, and some friends asked me after the service for a copy of the list. I thought I'd just post it here.
Jesus, the risen Lord, says, "I have authority over..." -
Satan, demons, angels, nature, laws, stars, moons, galaxies, planets, water, matter, weather systems, stock markets, the Big 3 automakers, foreclosures, forest fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones, tidal waves, tsunamis, nuclear bombs, gangs, atoms, neutrons, protons, science, quantum physics, genetic codes, DNA, chromosomes, animals, plants, giant whales, tiny minnows, parasites, germs, cells, blood vessels, our beating hearts, every nation, government, Congress, Presidents, town councils, pirates at sea, terrorists in the mountains, coaches, players, armies, employees, bosses, unemployed, fertile, infertile, currency, entertainment, the media, evil, good, floating tools in space, nuclear families, blended families, children in the womb, children in college, happy people, sad people, rich people, poor people, gas prices...
Jesus has authority over it all! I'm sure I missed some. Any suggestions?
