Mission Mindset – You Are Authorized
When we read the Great Commission, we typically hear this, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey…” Am I right?
There’s a key part of this we typically overlook. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
Why is this important?
When we hear the Great Commission, we think of saving “the lost.” This is great, but it might be off base. We are supposed to have this mission mindset, because Jesus told us to. And He’s the boss – the authority. We have been authorized to be on a mission.
In order for us to serve effectively, we must come under Christ’s authority.
