Grace be unto you

1 Corinthians 1:1-9

“Apostle of Jesus Christ.” This is an official office with extraordinary authority in the early church history. It is inseparably related to Jesus Christ. The word means “messenger.” It was an unique office for the early spreading of the Gospel. There is no such thing as apostolic succession.

The Great Commission

Matthew 28:16-20

“The eleven disciples” verse 16

The word “eleven” reminds of the loss of Judas Iscariot who betrayed Christ then later committed suicide. Judas’ loss reduced the count of the disciples to eleven. The case of Judas has many modern-day illustrations, such folk start well and seem to be ready and willing to serve Christ. But they fall out by the way and do not make it into His service.

“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” verse 18 To understand this text on power, it is important to know that the word translated “power” primarily means “authority” not strength or might. Before Christ gives the disciples the commission, He first informs them of the authority for the commission.

if you would fulfill the great commission given you, you must recognize Him as authority over you.

The Report of the Guard

Matthew 28:11-15

“Some of the watch” Verse 11 Not all of the watch went to the religious leaders of the Jews to report what had happened. While “some” went to do the reporting, the others fled from the area. The trauma at the tomb had destroyed military discipline among the guards. They all forsake their post, a very grave failure in military conduct.
