Our American DNA tells us that “authority” is a bad word, something to avoid. “Don’t tread on me” is a foundation of our country, it’s the air we breathe! And yet, at the same time, we all revere and acknowledge our need for an authority (think of coaches, trainers, teachers). Perhaps, Jesus knew this.

In fact, maybe part of the mystery of the Church is that Jesus continues to lead and guide His Church precisely through this authority.

Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible (Part 2)
One of the biggest confusions about the Bible comes from the question, “Just what is it that we’re reading?” Something as simple as, “What is the genre?” of a certain book or passage can change everything. But we can only discover this if we allow ourselves to be opened!
