“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (v18). The risen Jesus declared that his death and resurrection had won a new “authority”. It was not the worldly authority of weapons, political power, wealth, or force. The guards and others could still lie about Jesus and disregard him (v11-17). Instead, Jesus’ power conquered the source of humanity’s problems - sin and death - and enabled individuals to live differently, one by one, by faith in his name.

“Therefore go and make disciples ...” (v19). By the Spirit, we carry the authority of Christ to be and make disciples. As we follow Jesus and live as he taught us, he is with us to the very end (v20).
