Authority for Good - Questioned

In Matthew 21:23, the religious leader's wanted to know who gave Jesus His authority. (Interestingly, Jesus would not answer them, unless they first answered a question of His.) But we might fault them for asking Jesus this question. However this is a question that we all must deal with, today. The idea of authority is not pleasant for everyone, because we have seen it abused so often by the world's systems. - But God uses HIS authority for our good.
