“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth†(Matthew 28:19).
For a brief time after the Resurrection, Jesus was able to give some final instructions to His disciples. He was soon going to His Father but He wanted to make sure His disciples and followers to come had a clear picture of what their mission was to be once He ascended.
The fact He had conquered death, hell, and the grave proved His power and deity. He has all power “in heaven and earth.†His disciples were commissioned by the power and authority of God to go and share the gospel to the entire world. This Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) mapped out their “marching orders.†Ever since, His followers have followed God’s directions, knowing the only way to spread the gospel is to obediently follow them.
