P. 214
Jesus had not used his Godly attributes, during the course
of his life on earth. It is be-cause Jesus needed the power of
the Holy Spirit in order to work out his powers (Acts 10:38).
Then, what kind of power did Jesus have that allowed him to
impart such an authority to his dis-ciples? This was the point

to me and told me that the authority given to the disciples
by Jesus was done through an ‘impartation’. This means
that Jesus, having received the power and authority, shared
the power and authority in him with his disciples. Can you
comprehend this?
Maybe you still think that Jesus, having used the power of
his Deity, granted such an au-thority to his disciples. But this
is not true. Not once did Jesus use his Godly powers even
until the death on the cross. When he was hungry, I bet that
he grasped his stomach in agony. I am sure that Jesus was
tempted just like the others. As such, Jesus, likewise, prayed
hard to receive the powers. Please refrain from thinking that
Jesus had all the powers even though he did not even pray.
