How do we know the authority of Christ in the Great Commission is true?
Answered in 1 source
Christ’s authority is rooted in His resurrection and His statement, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,' affirming His divine sovereignty.
The authority of Christ in the Great Commission is affirmed through His resurrection and the declaration of His all-encompassing power. In Matthew 28:18, Jesus asserts that 'all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.' This claim underscores not only His God-given authority as the Savior but also His role as the mediator between God and humanity. Throughout scripture, particularly in Hebrews 1, we see this authority referenced, confirming that He upholds all things by the word of His power. Thus, His command to His disciples comes with the assurance of divine authority and purpose.
