By What Authority

   In today's Speaking to the Soul from the web site Episcopal Cafe the author of the meditation states the question that the religious authorities of Jesus' time asked him in Mark 11:27-33. The question in the Contemporary English Version of the Bible puts it this way, "They asked, 'What right do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?' "(v.28). The author sets the scripture in context of first century society but then goes on to explain how this scripture can apply to today's society. Contextualizing and applying a sermon or meditation to our current lives are two things that any good sermon or meditation should do.
