“All Authority” | The Relentless Pursuit

“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew 28:18–20, ESV)

Exousia: “Rightful, actual and unimpeded power to act, or to possess, control, use or dispose of, something or somebody.” – J.I. Packer
