As we continue our thoughts on Pastor Tom's message, let us turn to the third aspect of Matthew 28:16-20: submission.
"And Jesus came up to them, saying, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.' " (see Matthew 28:17)
It is interesting to note that Jesus did not commend the eleven disciples for showing up, nor did He condemn the "some" who doubted while worshiping Him. Instead, Jesus made a statement concerning Himself: I rule everything.
What an incentive to read and obey the word of God! Since Jesus is Ruler of all, then it would do us good to be aware of what He has said, to know what He is concerned about, and to submit to all that He says.
Are we truly ready to live our lives under His rulership, with a preference for His desires above our own?
