All Authority
Everybody who follows Jesus will encounter a myriad of “authorities” that directly challenge the authority of Christ. These other “authorities” may be parents, teachers, bosses, presidents, institutions, religions, or ideologies. In order to stay firm in devotion to Jesus, we must believe that He has supreme authority over all. Not partial authority, not most authority— all authority .
On the basis of his authority, he commissioned his people to go and make disciples among every people group on earth. This is an impossible commission if it were not for the promise that he is with them forever. The doctrine of the supreme authority of Christ not only upholds the work of the church, it is the central message that the church preaches. “Jesus is Lord” is good news!
Joey Shaw is the International Field Office Director for the Austin Stone Community Church and a regular contributor at Verge. Joey and his family live outside the United States where they serve unreached peoples for the glory of Christ.

Jesus’ declaration in the Great Commission that he has been given all authority on heaven and earth is the foundation for missions. Because Jesus has subjected all things under his rule and reign we have the ability to fulfill the great commission with confidence knowing that He is in control and working to save all people through His faithful followers.

So much said and so well
The bool is a careful exegesis of Mathew 28:18-20 and it’s implications to the totality of life and the totality of mission.
