Who let you in?

If you have lived in an apartment or home long enough, chances are you have been sifting through your mail and noticed you have received a letter from the manager or HOA. For most of us, there is an immediate emotional response of fear, frustration, or even anger before we even open up the letter to see what it says. The reality is that we all have a response to authority in our lives, even God’s authority. In today’s text, we get to watch a perceived outsider of the Kingdom come in contact with Jesus’ authority. His response was shocking, even to Jesus.
