vs. 30 Jesus was surrounded by an angry mob who had just ran Him out of town to the top of a hill and it says, "He passed through the midst of them." WOW!!! Can you imagine having so much authority and power that you could just walk right through an angry mob trying to kill you? I would have loved to be a fly on the wall during this event! It doesn't say Jesus said anything, that He raised His voice, used a miraculous paralization move on them, or used force of any kind. Simply that he passed through them and went on His way.
How much authority do we have today in Christ? If we are honest with ourselves and we are before an angry, nonChristian mob ready to kill us, would we have the nerve to just walk through them like they weren't even there? I mean, hopefully most of us would be willing to die for our faith, I'm not saying we wouldn't do that. I'm say Jesus was faced with dying here for His teachings and He just walk away...not just away, but right through the middle of them!! How awesome would it be to have that kind of influence over situations that seem out of control? I pray it never comes down to dying for my faith, but if the situation ever arises, I pray people look on it and see the power God gave me in that situation that He had complete authority through me to stand up and walk through the midst!
