There was something cute about his arrogance. The story is told of Muhammad Ali on an airplane one day. Well, there are no supermen among us. Jesus rebuked them, but he did not rebuke power, because he knew that power is an issue in human relationships.
Power is an issue in the Kingdom of God.
He did not resist those who get power. The powerless are all around us. The multitude that gathered this morning at the door of this church to be fed is powerless. They have been disempowered by life. They have not the means to support themselves.
