Matthew 28:18-20

New International Version
(NIV)

^{18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and
on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always,
to the very end of the age.”}

First off
lets take a closer look when He said " All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given me" what did he exactly mean by this ? Well prior to taking on flesh
did He not already had authority in heaven ? Yes , but in order to truly
experience our sufferings , joys and sorrows He had to leave His diety and only
as a human had to to be confronted by temptations, live and uphold the law given
Moses through God the Father. Ultimately become the sacrificial lamb holy,
perfect and without sin or blemish paying the ransom for our sins to obtain
freedom and the authorityover all the earth lost to Satan through Adams
disobedience . The rest as you know Christ delegating authority back into the
hands of His chosen in His name followed by the great commision our marching
orders , Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ !
