I'm thinking about the implications of John 18.5-6 this morning. The soldiers and chief priests come to arrest Christ. Christ asks them whom they are seeking. They answer: "Jesus of Nazareth." He answers: "I am he."
John records what happened: "As soon then as he had said unto them, "I am he," they went backward and fell to the ground" (John 18.6; KJV).
Word and power. Christ spoke; the powerful fell.
Do we need to fear authority that opposes God when we are on the side of word and power? No.
May we live our lives in the security of and reliance upon Christ and his word and his power.
