WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE IS THAT WE
ARE LOVED BY CHRIST AND THAT WE LOVE
HIM IN RETURN. IN COMPARISON TO THE
LOVE OF JESUS, EVERYTHING ELSE IS SECONDARY. AND, WITHOUT THE LOVE OF JESUS
EVERYTHING IS USELESS.

4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes." Jesus was doing something different. His teaching was new, fresh, surprising. The Jewish people were used to the
teaching style of their scribes, the scholars who interpreted the Scriptures and taught the corresponding laws. The
scribes were legalists by trade, who focused on what was required of the Jews based on the holy writings. For them,
the law was dominant. But when Jesus showed up in the synagogue and began to teach, he was dominant. As the
incarnate Son of God, he spoke with an authority that was greater even than the religious laws.
And just in case those who heard him doubted his legitimacy, Jesus proved his authority by more than words; he
cast out evil spirits. When the people witnessed Jesus commanding "even the unclean spirits" and saw that these
spirits obeyed him, they were "amazed" at this "new teaching with authority."
What our Jewish ancestors experienced is recorded for us to bolster our own faith. Although we were not there to see
these events unfold, if we meditate on the reality of today's Gospel story we will also be astonished and amazed. Jesus is more than a teacher. He is more than a kind man with an attractive philosophy. Jesus has power over the
spiritual world! His authority over us is real. And he exercises this authentic authority for our own good. He has the
power to do away with evil and to set us free, both through his teachings--passed on to us in the Bible and in the
Church--and through his action in our lives. We only need to follow his lead.
