Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

All authority on heaven and earth has been given to me. Go therefore and... do what? It would be an interesting exercise to give these words as what they call a writing prompt. Perhaps Christians would say I'd make people believe. But what would non-Christians say? But what do all these answers have in common? The Law. But this is not the authority of Jesus. And so how Jesus completed that sentence was with using authority to give. To baptize and teach. To give forgiveness. To give the Word of God. To give Jesus. To give life. To give the kingdom of God.
