Word with Authority and Power

Luke 4:31-37   
31 Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. 32 And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority. ... 36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

Jesus taught with absolute and divine authority.  Even the demons had to listen and vacate those they possessed - when the Holy One, the Son of God, spoke they had no choice but to obey.  So the witnesses to these things told it everywhere, and so we read about it now in wonder and awe in the fear of God.   He has the power over death and life with His word as well, assuring that He can raise us up in new life.  Nothing is too difficult for Him.
