Mark 11: 27-30
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
The Chief Priests, scribes and elders were, in essence, asking Jesus “How did you get where you are?” and Jesus, having fulfilled all righteousness (Matthew 3: 13-15), confidentiality alluded to the baptism of John the Baptist.
Because the Lord Jesus had done things the right way, He could continue doing the Lord’s work. In contrast, many of God’s children have succumb to rising through all forms of illicit ways and as a result, they have become mute, becoming lights that are no longer shining at home, at church, in the work place, in business, etc.
Matthew 5: 13-16
Ye are the salt of the earth… Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Choose to succeed the right way and in doing so, the devil will not be able to dim your light, causing you to be mute!
Be Blessed
