Why is the authority of Christ important for the Great Commission?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s authority is foundational for the Great Commission, emphasizing that all power belongs to Him, which empowers the church to fulfill its mission.

Understanding Christ's authority is essential in the context of the Great Commission. Jesus begins by stating, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth' (Matthew 28:18), establishing His sovereignty as the basis for the church’s mission. This declaration reassures the church that it operates under His divine authority. The commission is not merely a task for individuals but for the collective church delegated with Christ's power. Empowered by His authority, the church can execute this mission—spreading the Gospel, baptizing believers, and teaching them to follow Christ’s commandments—effectively and confidently.
