Summary
After he spent some days on earth, after the resurrection, with his disciples, fully man, fully divine, no longer in the humbled state of his servant, but walking the earth in his true and full glory, his eternal immortality, he spoke again with the disciples. He turns it over to his disciples, and he says, go out, go out and make more of yourselves, make more disciples, share faith, share my word. In verse 19, he says, go there for and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. Share my faith, share my word, how do you make disciples, how do you make more of you, more people who follow me, more people who receive the full forgiveness of their sins. And when we as two or three are gathered in His name, baptize a new believer in faith, whether young or old, Jesus is with us in the promise that He is forgiving the baptized sins, that He is washing them clean and that He is sealing them and sending His Holy Spirit to be with them. So with the blank check of all authority and all power on heaven or in heaven and on earth, Jesus hands forgiveness of sins to the church.
