Reflection
This Sunday’s readings reflect a debate about authority – about who has it, and about who it comes from. The chief priests and elders of the people challenge Jesus’ authority in the temple. We are left pondering the authority we give to God in our own lives, and wondering about the authority the church has to speak in our own time – an authority which presumably has to be earned as we demonstrate the character of God at work in relationship with one another.
