Luke 24:49 – And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Jesus gave every believer four things in the Great Commission and He knew that with the power of the Holy Spirit we could accomplish them.
He gave us:
1. His authority: Mathew 28:18, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, [you] go!”
2. His name: Mark 16:17-18, “And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues…they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well!” We have a Name that is above every name that’s named! (Phil. 2:9)
3. His power: Jesus said in Luke 24:49, “Stay I the city [Jerusalem] until you have been clothed with [dunamis, i.e. miracle-working] power from on high.”
4. His work to do: Jesus said in John 20:21, “As my Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And in John 9:4 Jesus said, “We must do the work of him who sent me.” Then in John 14:12 He said, “Do what I have been doing [and you] will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”
With the Holy Spirit’s help, we can accomplish great things for the Kingdom of God. We can help to usher in the soon return of our King.
Share His love with those you meet so they too can experience all that He gave in exchange for their life.
