Power

Matthew 28
The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 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.”

I don't know which part of this I like the best! When Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth," I get pretty excited. I have enough mental images (thanks Hollywood) of Jesus possessing the power of God - ALL the power of God - that it pretty much makes me realize that even though things rise up against me as I go about making disciples, nothing is going to be stronger than the fact that Jesus goes with me.
