Because of the atheist ideologies, we confuse authority and power, and I should say that we confuse the Father with the Roman pater familias, who has all authority over life and death. God has all authority, but it is an authority of love, and it is this love that he has revealed to us in the first covenant. Scripture speaks of Yahweh God as the one who has all authority, Yahweh the God of armies. The devil is present at the cross, and he considers himself as victorious, because he has opted for the power alone. In the rigorous sense, between the Father, there isn't any exercise of authority.
Authority appears in the mystery of the incarnation, it appears secondarily.
I believe that we must really understand this. Last time, I did not have the time to explain it, but I wanted to say it. As a matter of fact, even without your question, I would have come to this point. The more we understand the unity which exists between Jesus and his Father, the more we explore it, the more we contemplate the love of Jesus for his Father, the more we ought to discover how much Jesus is close to us, how much he is thrilled at all that is ours. It is for that reason that I love so much this passage of the Gospel of St. John, where Jesus is in the presence of the suffering of Martha and Mary at Bethany because Lazarus has just died, he has been dead for 4 days.
