Like a relay baton, each generation of believers since the apostles themselves have been given the same commission by Christ, you and I included. And it really is a great commission. The Great Commission is there because “all authority” has been given to Jesus Christ, and in His authority, He gives that commission to His disciples, which includes you and me today.
So what exactly is this “all authority” about? Well, if you’ve ever doubted the power of Jesus Christ, or if He is just a biographical, historical figure to you, or if to your mind He is meek and mild, as soft as butter, be prepared to be surprised at His awesome power, and even more surprised at how He chooses to (not) use it, while giving us an important lesson in the process.
