Go

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
–Matthew 28:18-20

The original word used for ‘all’ in Matthew 28:18 means…all. ALL authority was given to Jesus in heaven and on earth. In light of that and in the very next verse, Jesus gives us a direction: go.
​
This is what we call the Great Commission. Because He has ALL authority, we can have great boldness and confidence as we do what He has commanded. So when you are confronted by anyone or anything of a lesser authority, remember this: He has called you out from the world. He has chosen you to bear much fruit. He has appointed you to be with Him. He empowers you with the Holy Spirit. He has commissioned you with a Great Commission.
​
Certainly, this commission is great…and if we’re honest, seems to be beyond our ability. Thankfully, Jesus ended this Great Commission with a great promise: “…lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
​
Go, therefore.
