Our CommissionPart 2: The Authority of Jesus
Matthew 28 v 16-20
Matthew 28:16-2016 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to
which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am
with you always, to the end of the age.”
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
Am I sure that Jesus has all authority?
What difference does that make for me?
The authority of Jesus
He was sure of his own authority
Scripture confirms it
Daniel 7:14
“He was given authority, glory and a kingdom; that all peoples, nations and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall never be destroyed.”
Matthew 28:18-20
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
The authority of Jesus
He was sure of his own authority
Scripture confirms it
He has a redemption plan
Colossians 1:13“He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought
us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
Am I sure that Jesus has all authority?
What difference does that make for me?
The authority of Jesus
You have a job to do
All the pressure is off you
You have victory over evil

scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”

All the pressure is off you
You have victory over evil
You can achieve the impossible
Acts 1:8“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and
you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.”
