When we turn on the news or scroll through our social media feeds, it is easy for us to take note that something is wrong with the world. The issues we face each day come back to many questions, including this one: "Who is in charge here?" The question is "is God in charge or self?" God's authority threatens our autonomy and thus creates tension between Him and humanity. This Sunday we will see that play out when Jesus returns to His hometown and when John the Baptist rebukes Herod. Our prayer is that we will see God's authority as good and we learn to trust Him more.
