info_outlineThe power and authority of Jesus Christ is evident in the Gospel reading today, as the Lord teaches and then casts out unclean spirits. This same power was extended through the Apostles; calling upon the Lord these disciples changed the world as they allowed the grace and strength of Christ to flow through their lives.
When we are plugged in to the grace of Jesus, we allow the Lord's love to flow through our lives and touch the hearts of others. Like extension cords, we become conduits - drawing upon the strength of Christ and sharing his power with those in our lives - so that the Lord's mission will continue through us today.
