  8. Description of His Authority Demonstration of His Authority The Great Commission Part 1: The Proclamation of Authority Matthew 9:6-8 6But that you may know that the Son of Man has power [exousia] on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 7And he arose and departed to his house. 8Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power [exousia] to men. The Berean Approach

  9. The Great Commission Part 1: The Proclamation of Authority • Luke 10:19-20 • 19 Behold, I give you the authority [exousia] to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” • Strong’s Reference Number 1411 – Dynamis (some say Dunamis) • Used 120x in the KJV • Dynamis typically references to supernatural power. Can refer to the power of God (Mat. 6:13, Mark 12:24), of Christ (Mark 6:5, Luke 10:13), of the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:14, Acts 1:8), of demonic spirits (Rom. 8:38), of Satan (2 Thess. 2:9).

  12. The Great Commission Part 1: The Proclamation of Authority • Matthew 7:21-29 • 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. • 26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” The Berean Approach

  13. The Great Commission Part 1: The Proclamation of Authority • Matthew 7:21-29 • 28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, 29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. • The Authority of Jesus’ Teachings Ps. 9:8 - He shall judge the world in righteousness, and He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness. Ps. 75:7 - But Elohim is the Judge. He puts down one, and exalts another.
