Luke 4 reminds us that spiritual authority is birthed in the wilderness and proven in public. Jesus faced temptation head-on, not with emotion, but with the unshakable Word of God. He spoke with power, silenced demons, and healed the broken. Yet His hometown rejected Him. The lesson? Obedience to God may not make us popular — but it will make us powerful. May we speak with that same fire, stand with that same boldness, and live with that same surrender.
