*ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME*
_And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth_ . Matthew 28:18(KJV)
This happened after his death and resurrection, he came to declare unto them especially to the eleven disciples and apostles, to commissioned them with power into full time ministry and made himself available that he died and resurrected, Although there might be so large a number as before observed, yet the following words were only spoken to the apostles saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth; which is to be understood of him not as God who has the same original and underived power and authority over all creatures, and things in heaven and earth, as the Father has but as mediator to whom all things are delivered by the Father and not of a power of doing this or the other thing or of omnipotence being the Almighty nor of doing miracles, and forgiving sins which he had and exercised before his death and resurrection but of governing he was king before but his kingdom was not with observation, but now he was declared and made manifest to be both Lord and Christ he had all power and authority for the settling the affairs of his church and kingdom to appoint offices and officers in it and to bestow gifts upon men, to qualify them for the same and to institute ordinances to be observed till his second coming and this power of his reached to things in heaven, he having the angels in heaven subject to him as ministering spirits to be sent forth by him at his pleasure and all the gifts of the Spirit to dispose of as he thought good and to things on earth not only to the saints whose King he is and who are made willing to serve him but to all flesh to kings and princes who rule and reign by him and even to all the wicked of the world who in some shape or another are made to subserve the ends of his mediatorial kingdom and government and this is not usurped power but what is given him and what he has as a right to exercise having finished sin, abolished death, overcome the world and destroyed the devil and must reign till all enemies are subject to him and this he says, and it was necessary to say it at this time partly on account of his late sufferings and death which were attended with weakness and reproach and partly on account of the following commission he gives to his disciples that it might be seen and believed he had power and authority sufficient to give them such an one as also to animate and encourage them under all the weakness, contempt, and persecution that should attend them in their ministry. Jesus said as the Father hath sent me, even so I send you( John 20:21) from whence these words seem to be taken. This same power he gave in Luke 10:19, Mark 16:16-18. Paul also said he want to know him and the power of his resurrection. The apostles were baptised with holy ghost power(Act 2:1-10). I pray the power of his resurrection shall work in our lives also in Jesus name. Amen. Shalom!!!
