Jesus' authority

he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. 9 Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name[b] that is above every name,

REFLECTION

Authority has never been supported well, much less in these days. Maybe that disapproval comes from the fact that those who have the authority have often abused it. What a difference with the authority of Jesus, He always used it for good and did not use it to impose His power on men. Often the great people of this world try to dominate, but Jesus was among His peers as one who served. The power was given by God His Father, however Jesus was obedient unto His death, He accepted to give His life, He who the angels adore, made Himself man to teach obedience and reveal in this way the divine love.
