“Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”

If you had to define your life’s mission, what would it be? If you are a follower of Jesus hopefully it would contain something about discipleship. While there are many things vying for our attention and our time, Jesus left humanity with one thing to do: share the good news of the gospel. Even for those of us who truly believe the good news that Jesus came down and died so that we could have life, it’s still hard to share it with others. Before Jesus left the earth, he commanded us to share this good news! We have the comfort of knowing that all authority has been given to Jesus and therefore to us.

This week Pastor Ethan explains what it means to have this authority and shares what this looks like practically. As people who carry the best news in the world and who have been given the authority by Christ to share it, we don’t have to worry that we’ll say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing. The Lord has promised that He is with us always. Let’s trust that He will give us the words, and let’s trust that He will do His saving work.
