1 Sm 1: 9-20/ 1 Sm 2: 1. 4-5. 6-7. 8abcd/ Mk 1: 21-28
He taught them with authority (Mk 1: 22)
Jesus teaching made an impression on his listeners because unlike the others, His teaching was authoritative. And what was the source of this power? God gives to each of us the power. What made the difference, in Jesus' case, was the moral strength within. Jesus' authority lay in his inner power which was pure, selfless and deep-rooted. Only when our moral compass within is right can we decidedly move in a particular direction and also lead others.
