Authority in the Lord's Ministry

When the Lord taught the people, "He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." Matt. 7:29. Later, while teaching in His Father's house, they quizzed Him about His authority, saying, "By what authority doest Thou these things? and who gave Thee this authority?" Matt. 21:23. Though unrecognized, He was the Lord of that temple. Do we recognize the Lord in His house today? Do we submit to His power and authority there?
