All Authority: Biblical Principles of Spiritual and Delegated Authority

At the end of the Gospel of Matthew, Yeshua (Jesus) made an amazing statement concerning authority. "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth..." (Matthew 28:18). If that was true, then I need to re-examine every thought I ever had about authority. If "all authority" was from Him, then "all" my thoughts about authority were wrong. There was nothing to do but submit. This was a real revolution - a revolution concerning rebellion, and a revolution concerning authority.
