Bible Question: How would you explain the Great Commission? |
Bible Answer: Hello Begbie, This is my explanation,and I would advise you to search for others, and be open to others, with the Holy Spirit guiding you: When Jesus spoke unto them saying, "All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth," this is not given to Him as Son of God; for, as God nothing can be added to Him or taken from Him; it is rather a power, which He has merited by His Incarnation and His death at Calvary on the Cross [Phil. 2:8-10]; this authority extends not only over men, so that He governs and protects the Church, disposes human events, controls hearts and opinions; but the forces of Heaven also are at His Command; the Holy Spirit is bestowed by Him, and the Angels are in His employ as ministering to the members of His Body. When He said, "all power," He meant, "all power!" In verse 19 when He says,"Go ye therefore," this applies to any and all who follow Christ, and in all ages. Go and preach to all nations proclaiming the truth. We should go forth and give instruction of the whole Gospel for the whole man; Not as a suggestion but to do so because He said in verse 20,"I have commanded you.' In verse 20 also He said, "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen," hence, forever present among us and with us as Companion, Friend, Guide, Saviour, and God; until the end of age because it is the guarantee of His Promise. Amen. I pray this makes sense and it increases the vision of your heart. May God Bless You! John Ryals |
