Because he spoke this way many came to believe in Him (John 8:30).
When I joined community, it was the first time I heard the words 'Moral Authority.' When one has moral authority, people listen and follow. It is not brought about by position but by the person's integrity and personal holiness. Moral authority is a natural consequence of living a life obedient to the Lord. As we obey God, people also obey our leading since they feel that it is Spirit led.
Jesus led with Moral Authority. The gospel conveyed the boldness in His words. His words are not easy to digest, but because of His moral authority, people believed.
Are there people in your life who do not seem to listen to you? How is your integrity in view of this person?
