Listen "The Great Commission: Power, Doubt, and Divine Partnership"
Episode Synopsis
In this powerful conversation, we explore the often-overlooked context of the Great Commission starting from Matthew 28:16, not just verses 19–20. We unpack the significance of Jesus meeting the disciples on the mountain in Galilee — a pre-arranged appointment made known through the angel and Jesus Himself — and the incredible truth that "some doubted."
What follows is not condemnation, but assurance: Jesus declares "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" — a bold, post-resurrection statement of divine authority. This episode discusses how Jesus meets human doubt with divine power, inviting us into co-laboring with God, as reflected in 1 Corinthians 3:9 and Colossians 1:29.
We also reflect on Philippians 2, the "Great Emptying," and how Christ, once humbled in flesh, is now exalted and reigning — with all authority — commissioning His followers to go, teach, and baptize, not in their own strength, but in partnership with the risen Lord.
Themes: Resurrection power, divine authority, human doubt, partnership with God, the true context of the Great Commission.
