What is authority, and how did Jesus demonstrate authority in his teachings and actions?

Jesus has the power not only to expel an Evil Spirit from people,but also the power on earth to forgive sins.All authority(power,exousia) in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus(Matt 28:18).Jesus was proclaimed Son of God in all his power through his resurrection from the death.(Rome 1:4) Ultimate regality belongs to Jesus as "King of kings,and Lord of lords"(1 Tim.6:15) We define the totality of authority as being legislative,judicial,and executive.Jesus possesses all three: He is the lawgiver(Acts 3:22,23),judge(2Cori.5:10),and the Executor(Matt.28:18,19)

What part of Jesus` "mission statement" (reading from Isaiah) has the most appeal to you?

The Spirit of the Lord is on me.

To open the eyes of the blind,

to free captives from prison,

and those who live in darkness from the dungeon.

What is the role of the Holy Spirit during Jesus` challenge with the devil?

The Holy Spirit was with Jesus while the devil tested Jesus. Before the devil treated Jesus,the Holy Spirit led Jesus.The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert.There Satan came to Jesus. In the desert the Holy Spirit gave Jesus power.This is how Jesus defeated Satan.Jesus did not do what the devil wanted.In this case the role of the Holy Spirit is Parakleitos for Jesus as a man.
