Trouble with authority

Psalms 8:1-9

1. What did the psalmist affirm?

The psalmist affirmed that who is man that God is mindful of whom God made a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. God made men ruler over the works of our hands and put everything under our feet.

John 19:1-11

2. How did Christ view Pilate's authority?

When Pilate said "Don't you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?", Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."
