AUTHORITY FROM GOD
THE WEEK AHEAD
According to Moses, the people decided they
didn’t want to hear God’s voice directly any more.
It was much too frightening. Why couldn’t God
send human teachers, prophets, instead? God
agreed, but with a warning. The people had better
listen to those teachers, because they spoke in
God’s name.
That arrangement, though, had its own
problems for them and for us. How do I know this
teacher is truly from God? And if the teacher is
from God, are all parts of the teaching meant for
me? We have the Church and scripture to help us
with those questions, but still there are always a
few loose ends.
That is the powerful significance of the
sentence in today’s Gospel: “The people were
astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as
one having authority and not as the scribes.” The
people knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a
teacher sent by God. They knew it by hearing him.
