“When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.”
— Matthew 7:28–29, NASB1995
The Authority That Changes Everything
Jesus didn’t teach for likes, applause, or followers. His words carried authority because they came from the heart of God. His teaching flipped the world’s values upside down—inviting the weak, calling out the proud, and showing the narrow way.
If you’ve been walking through these verses, you’ve probably felt it—He’s not asking for fans. He’s calling for followers.
Challenge:
Do you believe Jesus has the right to define your choices, your identity, your future? If so—what needs to change?
Prayer:
King Jesus, You speak with power and purpose. Help me not just hear—but follow. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
