Jesus’ View of God’s Authority
- Summary: Jesus was perpetually concerned with doing only what God, his Father, authorized. The gospel of John highlights this repeatedly, as we discuss in this lesson. Even times when Jesus seems to be a rule-breaker (like with the Sabbath), he appeals to tradition and what Scripture commands.
